SIERRA MADRE POLICE BLOTTER

During the week of Sunday, September 13th, to Sunday, September 20th, 
the Sierra Madre Police Department responded to approximately 229 calls 
for service. 

Sunday, September 13th 

At 10:47 pm, Sierra Madre Police responded to the 200 block of Ramona 
Avenue regarding a suspicious person. Upon arrival, the resident informed 
Officers that several minutes before when he arrived home, he parked his car 
in his driveway. When he got out of his vehicle he heard a noise coming from 
the bushes. When he looked over towards the noise, he noticed a dark figure 
looking over his fence back towards him. The figure, which was described 
as a male, approximately 5’8” tall with a medium build and wearing a black 
hoodie, quickly ducked down. The man immediately went into his home to 
check on his father then called the police. Officers searched the area but did 
not find any further evidence. This case has been forwarded to the Detective 
Bureau. 

Wednesday, September 16th 

At around 3:37 am, Sierra Madre Police were patrolling the area of Sierra 
Madre Blvd and Auburn when they heard a vehicle’s tires spinning on the 
wet pavement. When Officers continued on the boulevard they witnessed a 
white truck with missing passenger side tail and brake lamp, traveling at a 
high rate of speed. As the truck approached the intersection of Sierra Madre 
Blvd and Baldwin, it made a right turn at approximately 8 mph, failing to 
stop at the stop sign. Officers witnessed the truck veer in and out of the north 
bound lanes while driving south bound. The truck did not immediately come 
to a stop once asked and drove through another stop sign before pulling off 
to the side. The man consented to a vehicle search, and Officers located an 
expired disabled person’s parking placard that was registered to someone else, 
as well as blank checks. When Officers questioned why he was in possession of 
someone else’s belongings, the man stated that they probably belonged to the 
previous owner of the truck as he did not clean it out when he bought it a few 
weeks ago. Officers noticed the names on the checks also matched the names 
on the vehicle registration card for the previous owner. Officers cited the man 
for crossing the double lines and appropriation of lost property. This case has 
been forwarded to the Detective Bureau for a follow up with the names on the 
found property.
