Residential Burglaries
On December 13 at 8:23 p.m., two residential burglaries were reported that occurred on a lot in the 500 block of West Maple.  In both cases, the unknown suspect(s) gained entry by prying open the rear door of the residence.  The front house was ransacked and jewelry was stolen.  There was minor ransacking in the back house, but nothing was taken.

Mountain Lion
On December 14 at 2:37 a.m., police received a call reporting a mountain lion in the 800 block of East Lemon.  Officers responded and found an adult mountain lion, possibly a female, in a yard in the 800 block of East Lemon.  It appeared to have an open wound next to its left eye.  The officers fired two beanbag rounds, which motivated the mountain lion to move back into the hills.

Drug Violations
On December 14 at 2:56 p.m., Monrovia Special Enforcement Team officers on patrol stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation.  This encounter led to the officers conducting a search of the vehicle, which revealed hidden drug contraband under the pad of a child seat.  The driver was arrested and booked for numerous drug violations.

Grand Theft Auto
On December 14 at 5:51 p.m., police responded to Mckinley Place and Foothill regarding a stolen vehicle.  The victim reported that he parked his vehicle on the street. When he returned to where he had parked it, the vehicle was not there and he could not find his keys.  The vehicle is a white, two-door, Lexus SC300.  Investigation continuing.

Grand Theft Auto
On December 14 at 6:12 p.m., officers responded to a business in the 700 block of East Central on the report of a stolen vehicle.  The theft occurred between 6:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.  The victim parked and locked his vehicle on the street and went into work for the day.  When he returned at the end of the day, his vehicle was missing.  The vehicle is a black, 2004, Chevy Silverado pickup truck.  The victim reported that there was an unloaded handgun in the vehicle at the time it was stolen, but there was no ammunition in the truck.  Investigation continuing.
