Residential
Burglary - Three Suspects Arrested
January 31, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
contacted a suspicious male subject in the area of Lemon and Ranchito and
requested a Monrovia officer respond to the location. The officer responded
and contacted the subject. The subject was not from the area and told the
officer he was looking for his dog that had wandered away. The subject had no
wants or warrants. He was identified and released. The officer had a strong suspicion
the subject was lying about his activity in the area and he continued to patrol
the area.
A resident contacted the officer and told him the male
subject had met up with another male subject in a white shirt and they had left
the area together. The officer located a subject in a white shirt who matched
the description at a park in the 600 block of Shamrock. He contacted the second
subject and while speaking with him, he observed a car with the windows open
and keys in the ignition. The officer then left the location.
Believing the subjects were connected with the car, he
and another officer watched the car from nearby. Within a short period of
time, the two male subjects the officer had contacted and a third male subject
ran to the car and got in. The officers conducted a traffic stop on the
vehicle before they could leave the area.
During a search of the vehicle, officers located
possible stolen property, including an Xbox and bicycle parts. While they were
still searching the vehicle, a police dispatcher advised the officers that a
call had been received of a home in the area with the front and rear doors
open. The address of the residence matched the address on some documents found
in the car the officers were searching. The three suspects were arrested for
residential burglary. The suspects had forced entry through a rear door into
the home located in the 1000 block of Oak Leaf and had stolen property from the
