During the week of Sunday, September 27th, to Sunday, 
October 4th, the Sierra Madre Police Department responded to 
approximately 218 calls for service. 

Tuesday, September 29th 

At 1:24 am, Sierra Madre Police were patrolling the area of 
Orange Grove and Baldwin when they observed a vehicle stop 
past the limit line at an intersection. Officers performed a traffic 
stop and upon contacting the driver, a records check revealed he 
had a $40,000 warrant. Officers made contact with the female 
passenger who clarified she was responsible for the vehicle. 
Officers conducted a vehicle search and discovered syringes, 
pills, and multiple wallets and checks with other individual’s 
names and ID. Officer’s arrested both the man and woman for 
identity theft, possession of stolen property, and possession 
of controlled substance. The vehicle was impounded and the 
subjects were transported to Pasadena Jail. 

Wednesday, September 30th 

At 11:15 am, Sierra Madre Police responded to the 200 block of 
East Orange Grove regarding a burglary report at a residential 
construction site. The victim informed Officers that the day 
before, the workers left the property around 5 pm and locked 
and secured the fence that surrounds the house. The following 
morning he received a call from one of the workers at around 
7 am stating that when they arrived they found the fence, the 
garage door, and the back residence door left open. When he 
arrived to the residence, he noticed that several of his tools that 
were left in the garage were now missing. Although the victim 
claimed that his foreman and himself were the only two with the 
fence lock combination, Officers determined that the suspect(s) 
entered the residence by unlocking the combination lock and 
then entered the house through a faulty door and then into the 
garage where the tools were stolen. This case has been forwarded 
to the Detective Bureau. 

At 4:34 pm, Sierra Madre Police responded to the 600 block of 
Gatewood Lane regarding a residential burglary. Officers were 
informed by the victim that the day before at around 6 pm, 
he left the residence and secured it. The next day at around 4 
pm he entered the home and went straight to his room. Once 
inside his room, he noticed that his room had been rummaged 
through and as he checked the rest of the house he saw that 
other cabinets and drawers throughout the house had also been 
rummaged through. Officers conducted a search of the property 
and discovered a damaged window to the rear of the house 
attached to the garage. A chair was placed under the window 
and the lock on the window showed obvious signs of damage. 
This case has been forwarded to the Detective Bureau.
