Glendora : Resident Beaten, Robbed

Police sought three robbers who entered a Glendora man’s home by pretending to deliver flowers, waited four hours for him to return, tied him up and beat him before stealing his 1989 Cadillac and nearly $6,000 in cash.

The robbers threatened the man’s housekeeper with a gun and bound her hands and feet with telephone cord after she let them in through a security gate at the home in the 400 block of East Sierra Madre Avenue about 4 p.m. Tuesday, Glendora police Officer Kathy Harbour said.

When the 36-year-old homeowner arrived at 8 p.m., the intruders put a pillowcase over his head, tied him up and repeatedly hit him, Harbour said. The homeowner’s 25-year-old brother was also tied up when he arrived, she added. Police withheld the names of the victims.

Harbour said the robbers fled with the man’s Cadillac, worth $30,000, the cash, a stereo, a videocassette recorder and a satellite television receiver.

Detectives said the robbers may have had knowledge of the homeowner’s fund-raising company in Pomona.
