The incident occurred on East Foothill Boulevard between Glendora High School and Loraine Avenue shortly after 1 p.m. May 6. A Hispanic man in his 30s followed a girl as she walked along the road, according to the Glendora Unified School District and Glendora Police. The man behind the wheel of a grey sedan would drive past the 16-year-old girl and wait for her to pass by. He would drive past her twice more so she could walk by, according to the girl’s mother, Jennifer Kerzie in a social media post.
The girl then noticed the man was naked from the waist down and masturbating. She fled after seeing what the man was doing. A photo of the suspect’s car was shared to social media. The car’s front license plate is missing. A reflection on the windshield makes it hard to see the suspect. The suspect’s car is described as a grey Nissan, according to Lt. Chris Stabio of Glendora Police. Anyone who has information on the suspect is urged to call the Glendora Police Department at 626-914-8250.  PHOTO/Glendora Police Department.

GLENDORA - A victim of package theft wants area residents to be aware of a duo seen stealing from a Glendora home Tuesday morning.
The package theft occurred around 10:30 a.m. April 2 in the area of Jedburgh Street and Valley Center Avenue. About five minutes after the Amazon delivery man left the package on the resident’s door step, the suspects arrived, said the resident who wished to not be named.
The suspects were caught on multiple security cameras as they drove through the neighborhood. The dark-colored SUV stopped in the middle of the street when a package was spotted. The driver backed up and stopped in the wrong direction so the thief could take the package.
