 Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE - One resident suffered a facial abrasion after being punched while breaking up a home burglary September 2. Residents arrived home and found two suspects in hooded sweatshirts burglarizing the master bedroom in the 4200 block of Shepherds Lane. the residents began defending themselves, according to Lt. 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. |
