Detective Bureau Case Follow-up
The Home Depot has had several commercial burglaries occur over the last two months. These burglaries were committed by a group of females who would enter the store carrying large empty shoulder bags. The females would fill the bags with merchandise, one female would fill a shopping cart and then they would all proceed to walk out of the store without paying. They did not try to conceal their actions and would confront employees if they were approached. This was caught on surveillance video, but the females were not identified and were gone by the time police arrived.
Detective's spoke with other agencies in the area to see if they were experiencing similar thefts and discovered Arcadia, Pasadena, and Glendale were having the same crimes occur. All three agencies compared leads, and several arrests were made implicating a Pasadena gang and nine female gang members. Two of the three females who were involved in the Monrovia incidents have been identified and arrested.
