Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN GABRIEL - A transient with an extensive criminal history was jailed after allegedly crashing a stolen San Gabriel Fire Department ambulance during a pursuit.
The ambulance was taken after paramedics responded to a call for service in the 700 block of Sunset just before 3:30 p.m. Sunday, December 31, according to the San Gabriel Police Department. While on foot in the area the transient, only described as being in his 40s, entered the parked ambulance and sped away. No one else was in the ambulance when it was driven away, according to the San Gabriel Police Department. Police officers located the stolen ambulance and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver refused and continued fleeing until crashing in the 2800 block of Canterbury Road in San Marino. “The suspect sustained non-life threatening injuries during this pursuit and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. As a result of the suspect colliding into numerous motorist, 2 sustained minor injuries and were released on scene. 3 others sustained minor injuries and were transported to two separate hospitals,” according to the San Gabriel Police Department in a written statement. The ambulance was so badly damaged it was taken out of service and has since been replaced. Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor SAN GABRIEL – Three suspects are being sought in a brazen robbery at a market that took place June 26.
In surveillance footage dated June 26 at 8:42 p.m., one of the three men was recorded as he casually walked up to a woman standing in line at the 99 Ranch Market, 140 W. Valley Blvd. The woman desperately held onto her purse as the suspect made away with it. The woman was knocked to the ground and dragged a short distance. The woman suffered cuts to her face. Two accomplices walking through an aisle make a break for the front entrance once the robber fled with the purse. All three suspects escaped together. The suspects reportedly robbed another woman of her purse in the store parking lot, according to the San Gabriel Police Department. No weapons were apparently seen during the robbery. Anyone with information on these crimes is urged to call the San Gabriel Police Department at 626-308-2835. |
