About 400 plants were discovered inside the home, a portion of which was converted to accommodate the physical requirements of growing the marijuana, according to Lt.

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.
Glendora Police was called to take a theft report. The suspects didn’t get an excellent haul, however: unless they wanted bug repellent patches, the resident said. |
