Residents of the toney Linda Vista neighborhood in Pasadena received a plea for help from the Pasadena Police Department.

In a letter to homeowners, cops note a string of daytime burglaries in an unnamed "hillside neighborhood"

Here's an excerpt:

"The Pasadena Police Department wants you to be on the look-out. In recent days there have been several daytime burglaries when the victims were away at work ...

"In many of the burglaries it would appear that the suspects are familiar with the hiding places of the residents valuables

"If you see unfamiliar persons loitering or vehicles parked in the area and find it suspicious in nature, regardless of the time of day or night, please call the police department...

Together we can make a difference!

Sort of interesting that the letter implies that the burglars are familiar with thier victims, but asks potential victims to be on the lookout for unfamiliar persons ...hmmmm. Oh if you do see anything, call (626) 744-4241

Jennifer McLain will be reporting this story later today:

 A burlgary ring that involved dozens of homes and a victim who was fired on by a suspect was broken this week. The Temple City's Sheriff's Department arrested four people, including one female, who were led the ring. The woman was arraigned today at the Alhambra Courthouse.

Jen says the ring was operating in Rosemead, Monterey Park and Temple City. More on this as it becomes available.
