Attempted Residential Burglary – Case
Number 14-0583
Date/Time of Release: February 4, 2014 at 7:00 P.M.
Today, at approximately 3:31
P.M., the Arcadia Police Department received a call of two suspicious men in
the rear yard of a residence in the 400 Block of Sharon Road. The first officer
to arrive in the area saw two similar men to the front of the residence, which
they had attempted to burglarize. Both men ran from the officer and a perimeter
was established. About two minutes
later, a different officer captured one of the suspects. The second suspect was
eventually captured inside another burglarized residence in the 500 block of
Sharon Road.
A yard-to-yard search was
conducted in the area with the assistance of helicopters from the Pasadena
Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and K-9 officers
from the Alhambra and Pasadena Police Departments. Due to its proximity to the
containment, Baldwin Stocker School was placed on lockdown while the search was
being conducted. No suspects were
located on the school property.
The first suspect was identified
as Michael McCray Jr., who is a 24-year-old parolee from Pasadena. The suspect
will be booked for attempted residential burglary. The bail for attempted
residential burglary is $50,000, but there will likely be a parole hold on
McCray. The second suspect was identified as Christopher Hicks Jr., who was a
21-year-old from West Covina. Hicks will be charged with two counts of
residential burglary and his bail is $50,000. Both suspects are currently being
held in the Arcadia Police Department’s jail.
The investigation is being
conducted by Arcadia Police Department Officers and Detectives. Anyone with
information is asked to call the Arcadia Police Department at (626) 574-5150.
