A note from the Pasadena Police Department:

Greetings to all and I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July holiday.
 
Pasadena Police Officers arrested burglary suspects after a concerned citizen telephoned our Communications Center reporting suspicious activities of several young men.  These young men were going door to door in his neighborhood, but then the citizen observed the men coming out of a neighbor’s back yard, and the citizen knew that the homeowner was away.  The citizen relayed pertinent information to our dispatchers.  Police stopped the suspects and recovered stolen property taken from the residence of an absent homeowner.  This was excellent action on the part of the observing citizen, and Detective Sergeant Lomeli has told me that it is greatly appreciated when our folks contact PPD regarding suspicious activity, solicitors, etc.
 
Also of interest, arrests of suspects in other cities’ burglaries were made by South Pasadena Police and La Crescenta Sheriff.  While they are not all the same suspects as the persons involved in the PPD arrest, there are some related threads, and PPD detectives are attempting to determine if any of these other suspects were responsible for Pasadena crimes.
