2600 block of Foothill Boulevard: A Ralphs store manager reported seeing a man steal two 30-pack cartons of Coors Light from the store at 8:33 p.m. on Jan. 22.

3100 block of Foothill Boulevard: A La Crescenta Orchard Supply and Hardware store manager saw a man walking out of the store with a $40 green trash can around 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 24. The manager didn’t see him pay for the item and asked to see his receipt. The man ignored him, walked out of the store, hopped in a car and sped away. A California Highway Patrol officer saw the car peel out from the store and attempted to perform a traffic stop. The suspect ignored that as well, making a U-turn on Foothill Boulevard and driving away. A pursuit ensued until the suspect ditched his car in the 3100 block of Sycamore Avenue in Glendale, leaving the stolen trash can behind. The officer was unable to apprehend the suspect but found he’d also stolen a Dewalt impact driver and drill set valued at $1,520, which was found in the suspect’s abandoned car.

Area 2

5400 block of Palm Drive: A locked, boarded-up house located in a remote neighborhood near Descanso Gardens was broken into between Jan. 10 and 18. A piece of plywood covering one of the windows was pulled off and the window was broken. When deputies arrived they determined someone had entered the house through the broken window, smashed holes into the walls and left a broken radio on the floor. No witnesses to the event could be found because of the house’s isolated location. Damage to the house was estimated at $2,100.

2200 block of Foothill Boulevard: A Big Lots employee saw a man, later identified as Arthur Campos, stuff bottles of shampoo into a black backpack and walk out of the store without paying for them. The employee notified his store manager who detained Campos around 3:20 p.m. on Jan. 21 until deputies arrived. Campos had his rights read to him by the deputies and opted to talk about the incident. He said he was currently on probation but admitted to stealing the shampoo because he only had $1 on him. Deputies searched his backpack and found four containers of baby formula inside. Campos said he didn’t have a baby but got the containers from his house and was going to deliver them to his cousin. The containers were new and unopened with a Ralphs label still on them. Deputies called the La Crescenta Ralphs on the label and spoke to the store’s manager, who determined the containers were stolen from his store. During an arrest search, deputies found less than one ounce of marijuana on Campos in a gum package he was carrying. Campos was arrested for possession of stolen property and possession of marijuana. Value of the stolen property was estimated around $420.
