They entered the residence by breaking the rear glass door.  The silver vehicle continues to drive past the victim’s residence while the suspects are inside.   Moments later, the victim returns home and the suspects run out from the victim’s backyard and towards the silver vehicle.  The victim did not see the suspects.  The loss was jewelry and U.S. Currency.

This incident is similar to many other burglaries that have recently occurred in the San Gabriel Valley.  Several of the incidents involve suspects using luxury model rental vehicles.  The suspects knock on the front door, after no answer, they proceed to enter the rear yard and force entry into a rear door or window of the residence.  If you see something suspicious in your neighborhood, please contact your local police department immediately.
