During this time period , the Sierra Madre 
Police Department responded to approximately 
110 daytime calls for service. 

 Monday, May 2, 2016 Sierra Madre Police 
responded to the lobby of the station regarding 
a theft report. Victim stated that on 5/1/16 at 
approximately 7:30pm he went to a restaurant 
in the 100 block of W. Sierra Madre Bl. to 
purchase a sandwich that he paid for in cash. 
Upon returning to his residence and checking 
his pockets, victim realized that he was missing 
approximately $ 60.00 in cash. Victim returned 
immediately to the restaurant to speak to the 
manager. Surveillance footage showed that 
while victim was paying for his food he dropped 
the cash by his feet. The money was picked up 
by another patron. The other patron returned 
to the restaurant on May 3rd and returned the 
cash to the restaurant manager who in turn 
contacted the victim. Case resolved. 

 Tuesday, May 3, 2016 At approximately 
4:30pm, an officer was dispatched to the 
Auburn parking lot regarding a non-injury 
traffic collision. The officer found that a 
parked vehicle had rolled back into two parked 
vehicles. After further investigation, it appears 
that the parking brake was engaged, however it 
may have malfunctioned causing the vehicle to 
roll back colliding with the two vehicles. 

 Saturday, May 7, 2016 Sierra Madre Police 
responded to a call of a suspicious person 
that was talking to himself and appeared to be 
under the influence of an unknown substance. 
The officer contacted the subject who verbally 
identified himself as Mardig Papzian. During 
the contact, the officer discovered that Papzian 
had three outstanding warrants out of the city 
of Pasadena and he was in the possession of 
marijuana. Papzian was issued a citation for 
the marijuana and a Pasadena Police Officer 
responded to the location and took custody of 
Papzian for the warrants. 

 

 NOTE: Nighttime calls for service by LASD 
are not included in this report. We are hoping 
to include them in the near future.
