Incident: Grand Theft Arrests
The Arcadia Police Department is committed to reducing property crimes this holiday season by
taking a proactive approach to catch criminals as they commit crimes. The police department
has procured a number of GPS tracking devices in an effort to apprehend thieves. Detectives
have partnered with citizens and local businesses by placing bait packages equipped with
tracking devices, which notify police personnel when packages have been stolen.
On December 20, 2015, at approximately 7:30 a.m., Arcadia Police responded to the south east
portion of Arcadia regarding an alert of a stolen package from a residence containing property
and a GPS tracking device. Officers tracked the package and located two suspects within a few
blocks of where the package was stolen.
Suspect Steve Lopez, 25-years old of El Monte and Suspect Dandre Lageman 30-years old of
El Monte were arrested for Penal Code 487(a) Felony Grand Theft. They are being held in
custody at the Arcadia City Jail on $20,000 bail.
