REMEMBRANCE


During the week of Sunday, July 13th to Sunday, July 20th, the 
Sierra Madre Police Department responded to approximately 399 
calls for service.

Tuesday, July 15th

At approximately 11:15 am, Sierra Madre Police Department 
responded to the 630 block of Mariposa Avenue regarding a 
vandalism report. When Officers arrived, they were informed 
by the victim that earlier that morning she had left her vehicle 
parked on the sidewalk and when she arrived home later that 
afternoon, she noticed two 6 inch scratches on the right rear 
hatch of the vehicle. It appears an unknown sharp object was 
used to create the scratches. This case has been forwarded to the 
Detectives Bureau. 

At around 2:15 pm, Sierra Madre Police Department responded 
to the station front lobby regarding an identity theft report. 
The victim informed Officers that a few days prior he contacted 
his bank to check the balance of his account, upon which he 
discovered an amount of $153 had been deducted without his 
knowledge or permission. Through his own investigation, the 
victim revealed the deduction came from a credit card company 
to pay for a bill. The victim informed Officers he did not have 
a credit card open in his name with that company and did not 
give anyone permission to use his name to open an account. The 
victim is believed to have had his identity and financial security 
compromised. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives 
Bureau. 

Wednesday, July 16th

At 9:45 pm, Sierra Madre Police Department responded to the 
Mariposa Parking Lot regarding a stolen vehicle report. Upon 
their arrival, Officers were informed by the victim that she 
parked and locked her vehicle at 3 pm. When the victim returned 
to her vehicle at around 9:30 pm, she noticed her vehicle was 
now parked within two parking spots, with the radio on and a 
key in the ignition with the doors still locked. The victim stated 
she only had one key for the vehicle and it was in her possession. 
Nothing in the vehicle was missing or damaged. When Officers 
attempted to use the key found in the ignition on the vehicle’s 
door locks, the key would not unlock the doors. This case has 
been forwarded to the Detectives Bureau. 

Friday, July 18th

At approximately 12:47 am, Sierra Madre Police Department 
responded to the 700 block of W. Highland Ave. regarding a 
residential burglary. The victims informed Officers that they 
had been away on vacation for several days, and upon coming 
home that morning they noticed theirs bedrooms, closets and a 
vehicle in 

their garage had been ransacked. During the investigation, 
Officers discovered a broken window near the rear of the house. 
The victims reported a total of approximately $100,000 in 
property loss. This case has been forwarded to the Detectives 
Bureau.
