Incident: Residential Burglary – Unique
Suspect Description
Date
and Time of Release: June
20, 2012, 7:15 p.m.
On
Saturday, June 16, 2012, a 70-year-old female victim returned home to her
apartment, located in the 1100 block of West Duarte Road, to find her apartment
broken into and an unknown female showering in the victim’s bathroom. The victim was away for about three hours, returning
home at about 2:30 p.m. She found her
front door chained from the inside and saw a rear window screen removed, with
the window now open.
The
victim climbed inside the open window, heard water running in her shower, and
found her bedroom television turned on. The victim called out and was met by a female
voice from the shower, asking what she wanted.
The victim told the unknown female to get out and went outside to call a
friend for help. After about ten
minutes, the female suspect exited the apartment through the front door,
grabbing the victim’s keys as she left, saying nothing as she walked away. Arcadia Police were notified at about 3:20
p.m.
The
victim found that in addition to showering, the suspect had removed and
prepared food from the apartment refrigerator and lightly ransacked the master
bedroom. No other loss was discovered at
the time and it is unknown how long the suspect was inside the location. The female suspect was described as
African-American, 40 years old, 5’11”/170 lbs., black hair, with flower tattoos
on each side of her face, wearing a blue or green shirt and capri pants.
Due to the unusual
circumstances reported in this crime and the unique suspect description, the

case to call the police department at (626) 574-5156. You can also submit crime tips and
