Somebody really wants to burn this strip mall

Reporters Daniel Tedford and Ben Baeder report today that someone has tried for a fourth time this year to set fire to a strip mall in La Puente.

The Durango Plaza strip mall in the 15700 block
of Amar Road was struck by small fires three times between Jan. 13 and
Jan. 18 causing about $20,000 in damage.


The facility’s
landlord hired a security guard to prevent future attacks, but during
the guard’s break combustible materials were set up for a potential
fire Thursday morning, said Los Angeles County Sheriff Sgt. Jeff
McBride.

  1. Frank no news about the shooting Wed, night around Myrtle and the 210 fwy in Monrovia?

    My guess is was a retaliation shooting for the shooting Monday in Duarte in which Miguel Sanchez was killed.

    The shooting between black and latino gangs is starting again, but we have no news yet, why?

  2. Officials at the sheriff’s Temple Station report that the incident late Wednesday near Myrtle Avenue was not a shooting, but rather a search for a man reportedly seen with a gun. We’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on gang violence in the Monrovia area.
