Glendora home ransacked in burglary

GLENDORA — Police surrounded a home where a burglar was believed to have been holed-up Friday, but ultimately found the intruder had escaped, police said.
The incident began when a neighbor called police about 1:45 p.m. to report seeing something she found suspicious: a man sprinting through the 100 block of Whispering Oaks Drive in long-sleeves and pants in the middle of the afternoon on a day with temperatures above 100 degrees, Glendora police Capt. Tim Staab said.
Officers arrived at the scene within two minutes and discovered that a front window of a nearby home had been broken and forced open, the captain said.
Believing the burglary may still be inside, officers surrounded the home and called in a police helicopter and K-9 to help, Staab said.
They ultimately entered the home, finding it ransacked, he said. But the burglar was gone.
It was unclear what, if anything, had been stolen from the house.
