Chad Smeltzer of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Crescenta Valley Station. Deputies were called to the scene just after 9 p.m. Monday. A suspect pushed one of the homeowners against a wall and punched him a few times resulting in a small facial abrasion. A second resident used a wooden interior dog fence and began swinging it at another burglar, Smeltzer said.
“It appeared [the suspects] had been in there for some time burglarizing the place,” Smeltzer said. “It appears some items were stolen and one of those items was a firearm.” The firearm turned out to be an antique shotgun. Both suspects fled into a dark vehicle, which was driven away south from the neighborhood. Cash and other items were also taken. The suspects entered through a damaged rear glass door, Smeltzer said. |
