PASADENA – An observant witness helped police arrest three men and a 16-year-old boy after a residential burglary Thursday.

Gerald Rogers, 20, James Brittenum, 18, John Adams, 18, and a
16-year-old boy, all of Monrovia, were booked on suspicion of burglary,
Pasadena police Lt. Diego Torres said.

Pasadena Lt. Pete Hettema said shortly after 12 p.m., a witness
saw two people come out of a backyard in the 500 block of Mercedes
Avenue and get into a car with two occupants.

He said the witness described the vehicle as a Ford Crown

Madre Villa Avenue and found what they believed were stolen items
inside, according to Hettema. Three men and a teen were arrested on
suspicion of burglary.
