In the early afternoon on December 20, 2013, a residential burglary occurred in the 900 block of North Madison Avenue in the City of Pasadena. The suspects entered the residence by way of an insecure doggie door built into the rear door of the house. Once inside, the suspects removed numerous electronic items including televisions, computers and tablets, sports memorabilia, jewelry and the cremated remains of the victim’s parents. A surveillance camera in the area captured the suspects leaving the vicinity.
Pasadena Police immediately initiated an investigation into the crime. As a result, Pasadena Police Detectives identified several of the suspects involved in the burglary and recovered stolen electronic items.
Arrested for residential burglary were Alex Canela (18 year old male), two 16 year olds males, and one 17 year old male. All four suspects reside in Pasadena. Suspect Canela is being held in the Pasadena Jail on $50,000 bail and scheduled for arraignment tomorrow.
Pasadena Police Detectives continue their investigation seeking the identification of additional suspects and the recovery of more loss. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241, or you may report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477) or http://lacrimestoppers.org (insert key word Pasadena)
