During the week of Sunday, October 4th, to Sunday, October 12th, 
the Sierra Madre Police Department responded to approximately 
287 calls for service. 

Monday, October 5th 

At 2:40 pm, Sierra Madre Police responded to the 300 block of West 
Montecito Avenue regarding a residential burglary. Upon arrival, 
Officers were met by a witness who stated that she had heard an 
audible alarm going off while she was standing near her home. 
Shortly after she witnessed a man running southbound on Grove 
Lane while carrying a red pillow case and saw him get into a blue 
Jeep Cherokee. The neighbor stated she attempted to run after 
the man but was unable to catch up to him before he jumped into 
the vehicle. Officers determined the suspect entered the home by 
breaking a back door window. The home was ransacked and the 
homeowner reported jewelry to be missing. This case has been 
forwarded to the Detective Bureau. 

Tuesday, October 6th 

At around 1 pm, Sierra Madre Police were patrolling the area 
near 300 block San Gabriel Court when Officers observed an 
open package box in the middle of the roadway. As the Officers 
approached the package, they observed a silver Toyota sedan 
without plates parked along the curb. Officers initiated a traffic 
stop and as they approached the vehicle, Officers observed 
several open package boxes in the back seat of the vehicle. When 
questioned what their reason was for being in the city, the two men 
stated they were here to go hiking but Officers were unable to locate 
any hiking equipment or clothing on the subjects. A closer look of 
the packages revealed they were all addressed to various residents 
within the city and the subjects stated that they had found them. A 
vehicle search revealed several open packages with their property, 
the vehicle’s plates, rubber gloves, and pawn shop receipts. The box 
in the middle of the street was addressed to a residence on that 
street and the property was found within the vehicle. Both men 
were taken into custody and arrested for receiving and concealing 
stolen property. 

Saturday, October 10th 

At 3:10 am, Sierra Madre Police were patrolling the area of Baldwin 
Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard when they observed a vehicle 
parked in front of a local bar with its window wipers on. Officers 
continued to observe the vehicle turn on its lights, switch between 
the right and left blinker, and the brake lights turning on and off. 
As the vehicle backed out of the parking spot and continued down 
the boulevard, it failed to turn on its headlights. Officers initiated 
a traffic stop and upon making contact, they immediately noticed 
the driver’s eyes were blood shot, the odor of alcohol was present, 
and he was talking in a very loud voice. When asked how much he 
had to drink, the man stated he had too much. The man consented 
to a field sobriety test which ultimately determined he was unable 
to safely care for himself or his safety. The man was arrested and 
cited for driving under the influence of alcohol and transported to 
Pasadena Jail.
