Home Burglary's in North Monrovia

Monrovia City Watch reports that yesterday MPD with an assist from APD rounded up and arrested 3 residential burglars up on eastern Norumbega Drive. Full story on that blog.

Interesting point made in the post is that during tough economic times burglarys increase. The need to be aware and report anything out of the ordinary is always important.

We've already seen a rash of auto burglary in the street earlier this year, take the precautions to lock up your house AND windows to secure them as well.

Early morning paramedic visit

Most everyone heard the police and EMT's arrive this morning. Around 6:20 a friend of one of our neighbors had a medical condition of some sort that prompted a 911 call. He was in some sort of distress and was taken by an ambulance to a local hospital.

Another neighbor who spoke with the paramedics advised that the man has had some serious health problems that contributed to his unusual behavior. He was not believed to have been under the influence of anything at the time. (I add this as there was already some speculation along those lines and would like to quash that concern before it becomes rumor).

Update: Both Renee and myself have spoken with Kathleen whose friend needed the urgent care this morning. Her friend has had a brain tumor and something happened, he knew he needed help and came to her. She thanked all of us for watching out for her as his behavior was out of the norm. She also reiterated that situations like this are a good reminder on why this street is a good place to live and why we need Neighborhood Watch.
