Following are the weekend's highlighted issues and events.
Suspicious Package
December 5 at 8:33 a.m., an employee of the Wells Fargo Bank in the 500 block of South Myrtle arrived at the bank and noticed a "stuffed" backpack placed directly in front of the main glass doors. He waited about ten minutes and then called police. Officers arrived, saw the package and began locking down the area. About ten minutes later, an Asian male subject walked up to the officers and told them it was his backpack. The subject was identified and computer checks indicated he was on probation for Arson. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Bomb Squad was called for safety purposes and they x-rayed the backpack - no explosive device was identified. The call was cleared without incident.
Fraud - Suspect Arrested
December 5 at 11:00 a.m., officers contacted a female subject in the police lobby wanting to report she was the victim of fraud. In questioning the female, her story changed and she admitted to withdrawing the money herself, and to being the one who used her credit card at a number of locations. She was determined to be under the influence of a controlled substance and was arrested.
While conducting a property check of her belongings, she was found to have a personal check hidden in her shoe. It turned out to be a stolen check that was unreported. The investigation is continuing.
Grand Theft Auto
December 6 at 6:23 a.m., a vehicle trailer was taken from a business in the 1600 block of South Mountain. It was taken sometime between 3:30 p.m. on December 5 and 6:00 a.m. on December 6. The trailer was secured with a chain and lock. The suspect(s) cut the gate lock to enter the business property, hitched up the trailer, and drove off with it.
The vehicle trailer was recovered by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Industry Station on the morning of December 7 in the 2000 block of Workman Mill Road. The property that was in the trailer had been removed. The investigation is continuing.
Residential Burglary
December 7 at 3:41 p.m., an officer was dispatched to a residence in the 200 block of East Evergreen regarding a residential burglary. The resident left the location at 11:30 a.m. When the resident returned home at 3:30 p.m., they noticed the window on the side door had a hole punched near the handle. It appears the suspect(s) reached in and unlocked the door to gain entry. The master bedroom was ransacked; cash and jewelry was taken. The investigation is continuing.
