Grand Theft From a Vehicle

On April 10, three victims had their catalytic converters stolen off their vehicles overnight. The incidents occurred in the 600 
block of West Olive, 500 block of West Maple and the 400 block of West Lime. The investigation is continuing.

 

 Detective Bureau Case Follow-Up

 

March 26, an officer responded to and conducted a burglary investigation at a business in the 100 block of West Walnut, 
Antiques of Fairoaks. Sellers rent cases from the business owner to display and sell their products. Suspect(s) broke into the 
location overnight and stole merchandise from the cases. Four victims were identified.

 

One of the victims found and identified some of her property being sold on eBay and contacted police. She recognized not 
only the items, but also the description of the items she had written on the tags. Through investigation, detectives found information 
on the seller, and the investigation led to an address in Tujunga. 

A search warrant for the location in Tujunga was written and served on April 10 at 5:30 a.m. The property/residence in 
Tujunga was extremely large, so Monrovia detectives requested assistance from the West San Gabriel Valley Burglary Task 
Force, Pasadena Police Department and Glendale Police Department SWAT Teams. The search warrant was executed without 
incident. The objective of the search warrant was met and the victim's property was recovered from the residence.

 

This case is a great example of multi-agency cooperation and teamwork.
