Auto theft suspects arrested in Monrovia
MONROVIA -- Police arrested a man and woman Friday on suspicion of auto theft, authorities said.
The names of the suspects, who both appeared to be in their mid-20s, were not available late Friday, as they were still going through the booking process, Monrovia police Lt. Jaime Alfaro said.
A resident saw two suspicious people get out of a parked car about 6:20 p.m. in the 600 block of East Lemon Avenue and called police, the lieutenant said.
When police ran the license plate number provided by the caller, he said, officials determined the car had been reported stolen.
Officers found the man and woman at a nearby park and arrested them without further incident.
