Crime Blotter: Items Stolen from Unlocked Vehicle Overnight

Crime blotter information provided by the Sierra Madre Police Department.

Sunday June 16, 2013

Overnight, an unknown suspect entered a vehicle parked in a driveway in the 400 block of Grove Street and rummaged through the interior.  Once inside, the suspect was also able to access the vehicle trunk and remove items from that area.  The suspect took small items of value and left the scene without being seen.  There was no sign of forced entry into the vehicle and the owner admitted that he had not locked the car that night. 

Residents should call 9-1-1 to report any police, fire, or medical emergency, including:

• Crimes in progress or crimes that have just occurred
• Suspicious activity or behavior
• Fights or domestic violence
• Suicide attempts
• Building fires, brush fires, trash fires, or any other fires
• Traffic accidents
• Any medical emergency for which immediate care is needed
• Vicious animals – but not a bear walking through the neighborhood or yard

Residents are asked not to call 9-1-1 to report any non-emergency problems or to ask questions; instead, please call the Sierra Madre Police Department's non-emergency line at (626) 355-1414.
