During the week of Sunday, October 11th, to Sunday, October 18th, 
the Sierra Madre Police Department responded to approximately 
291 calls for service. 

Tuesday, October 13th

 At 4:28 pm, Sierra Madre Police responded to the 700 Block of 
West Sierra Madre Blvd regarding a residential burglary. Upon 
arrival, Officers were informed by a neighbor that at around 
3:15 pm she heard what she believed to be glass breaking in 
the apartment next door, when she went to investigate she 
discovered the sliding glass door had been shattered. The woman 
thought the glass had been broken by a falling plant stand and 
decided to go back to her apartment. At around 4:00 she heard 
a noise of someone walking down the walkway between her and 
the neighbor’s apartment, so she thought it was her neighbor 
coming home from work and she went outside to inform her 
about her glass door. When she went outside she saw a man at 
the sidewalk and when she went to investigate her neighbors 
patio she noticed the patio gate was open, the broken glass door 
was open and there was a TV sitting on a patio chair. Officer 
determined the suspect(s) entered the residence by throwing a 
ceramic tile through the sliding glass door and ransacked several 
rooms. This case has been forwarded to the Detective Bureau. 

Wednesday, October 14th 

At 5:52 pm, Sierra Madre Police responded to the station lobby 
regarding a theft that occurred in the 300 block of West Sierra 
Madre Blvd. The victim informed Officers that at around 1:30 
am, she went to the local laundromat and placed a load of laundry 
in the dryer, and while the clothes dried she went home to sleep. 
She returned at around 6:00 am and discovered her clothes 
had been removed from the dryer and when she inspected her 
clothes she discovered various clothes articles were missing. The 
victim informed officers that estimated loss was at over $1,000. 
This case has been forwarded to the Detective Bureau.

GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY 

AT THE COMMUNITY PLANTING DAY!


Sierra Madre, CA. - After months of landscape 
demolition, grading and irrigation work, the 
Community Planting Day is finally here! The Sierra 
Madre Garden Club and City of Sierra Madre 
are seeking eager volunteers to help replenish 
the landscape outside City Hall with beautiful 
drought-resistant plants. The event is part of a 
joint community project aimed at saving water and 
demonstrating the beauty and economic benefits of 
native plant gardens!

 Rain or shine, members of the community 
will be gathering in downtown Sierra Madre on 
November 7th to plant 200-300 plants on the 
grounds surrounding City Hall and the Police 
and Fire Station. The project was made possible 
through generous grants and donations from the 
community. As the City was unable to contribute 
financial resources to the landscape project, the 
City of Sierra Madre owes a special debt of gratitude 
to those organizations and individuals who stepped 
in to bring this project to life. Including, but not 
limited to:

The Sierra Madre Garden Club

The Sierra Madre Community Foundation

FormLA Landscaping

LA County Board Supervisor Michael D. 
Antonovich, Fifth District 

San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District

The Sierra Madre Senior Community 
Commission 

The Neiby Family

Glenn & Amy Putnam

Richard Wilson

 The Community Planting Day will take place 
outside City Hall on November 7, 2015 from 9:00AM 
– 12:00PM. Volunteers for the event are advised 
to bring adequate gardening gear including: hats, 
gloves, sunblock, as well as digging and trenching 
shovels. The San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water 
District will provide water and Girl Scout Troop 
2991 will be on hand with refreshments.
