Pasadena Police officers responded to the 1600 block of Colorado Boulevard regarding a suspicious device left outside the front door of a local coffee shop. PPD officers arrived and confirmed what looked like a “pressure-cooker” device. Officers could not locate the owner of the device and requested the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Bomb Squad. The bomb squad arrived and determined the device did not contain explosives.

At about 12:12 p.m., Pasadena Police Officer David Thomas responded to a possible residential burglary in progress in the 400 Block of Castano Avenue. On arrival, David saw two individuals matching the description of the suspects as they walked down the driveway of the victim’s home. Both suspects immediately fled, and David gave chase. During the foot pursuit, the suspects discarded two firearms that were stolen from the burglary. One suspect was apprehended without incident by assisting officers and the second suspect eluded PPD by entering a nearby vehicle. Officers attempted to follow the suspect’s vehicle; however, it was lost and not immediately located. The burglary suspect was booked at the Pasadena jail. The efforts of David and other PPD officers resulted in the arrest of a burglary suspect and the prevention of two firearms from making their way into our community.
