Arcadia police said Friday they will investigate a possible link between the Monterey Park robbery and two robberies that occurred in that city in November, Arcadia police Sgt. Tom Le Veque said.

"There are some similarities in suspect descriptions and the circumstances surrounding the crime," Le Veque said. "But it's way too early to say anything is related." recovered a Porsche in Alhambra that was stolen during a home invasion robbery in Monterey Park, officials said Friday.

Six people were bound with zip ties and one man was pistol-whipped during the robbery that occurred at 3:15 a.m. Thursday in the 500 block of Whitney Place.

Tipsters alerted police after they recognized the Porsche's description from a news report, Monterey Park police Sgt. Frank Duke said.

"They called and said they saw this Porsche in the news," Duke said.

The Porsche was located in good condition near West Garvey and Montezuma avenues in Alhambra about 7 p.m., Duke said.

"We did recover some evidence out of the Porsche," Duke said. "We will process it and hopefully get some traceable evidence," Duke said.

Police brought a man in for questioning about 6 p.m., but later released him, Duke said.
