SMFD WELCOMES NEW FIRE CAPTAIN 
January 23-29, 2022During this period, the 
Sierra Madre Police De-
partment responded to 
approximately 235 calls 
for service. This list is 
not intended to be considered exclusive or 
all-inclusive. 
Monday, January 24 / Driving Under the In-
fluence Arrest 
At about 12:00 am, an officer observed a ve-
hicle code violation and conducted a traffic 
enforcement stop. During the contact, the 
driver was found to be impaired and under 
the influence of an alcoholic beverage and 
was arrested. The driver was booked at the 
Pasadena PD jail. 
Monday, January 24 / Hit and Run Traffic 
Collision and Arrest 
From January 24, 2022, at 11:50 am, in the 
00 block of W. Carter Ave, a victim reported 
that a neighbor had backed up into their 
fence and caused damage. The neighbor 
then left without notifying the victim of 
the damage. The victim reviewed security 
surveillance footage and saw the collision 
occur. 
On January 25, 2022, the Detective Bureau 
conducted a follow-up with the neighbor 
who admitted to colliding into the fence and 
not notifying the victim. The neighbor was 
ultimately arrested, cited, and released for a 
Hit and Run traffic collision. 
Wednesday, January 26 / Identify TheftOn January 26, 2022, a victim reported 
unknown suspect(s) illegally gaining access 
to their bank account and withdrawing over 
$20,000. The Detectives' Bureau is follow-
ing up on this incident. 
Wednesday, January 26 / Battery, Robbery, 
and Vandalism 
On January 26, 2022, from 7:30 pm, in the 
400 block of W. Sierra Madre Blvd, of-
ficers responded to an in-progress fight. 
The officer’s investigation revealed that an 
altercation occurred between two subjects. 
One subject stole the victim's cell phone 
during the altercation and destroyed it. The 
Detectives' Bureau is following up on this 
incident. 
Friday, January 28 / Suspicious Circumstances 
Over the past two weeks, the police de-
partment has responded to two residences 
regarding a distraction-type theft. Elderly 
residents advised that a male and female 
Hispanic knocked at the front door of their 
home in an attempt to gain entry. 
We wanted to make the community aware 
of this type of crime where one person will 
attempt to distract a resident at their front 
door while a second person gains entry from 
another location of the residence and steals 
property from inside the residence. 
Please be careful and don’t let anyone into 
your home that you don’t know. If you feel 
the situation is suspicious, call the police de-
partment to have an officer respond to the 
location.
