Power Tools Stolen from Work Truck on San Gabriel Court

Crime blotter information provided by the Sierra Madre Police Department.

Friday, April 26, 2013

A resident in the 200 block of San Gabriel Court parked his work truck overnight in the street near his house. The next morning a neighbor alerted the owner that the doors and cabinets on the vehicle were open. The owner then discovered that a number of power tools had been removed from the truck. The investigation determined that the vehicle doors and cabinets were left unlocked overnight and an unknown suspect was able to easily access all areas of the truck. A readable print lift was obtained and the investigation is ongoing.
