Crime Blotter: Overnight Burglary With Residents Asleep Inside

Crime blotter information provided by the Sierra Madre Police Department.

Tuesday June 11, 2013

A resident in the 200 block of East Orange Grove Avenue came home at approximately 11pm and immediately went to bed, leaving a rear sliding glass door unsecured.  When he awoke the next morning, he noticed the sliding glass door was open and his lap top computer missing from a table adjacent to that door.  No other items were disturbed and there was no evidence that the suspect entered any further into the residence.

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.
