On Monday May 7, 2018, at approximately 12:00 p.m., the Arcadia Police Department received a 9-1-1 call from a resident in the 1400 block of Melanie Lane. The resident heard someone knock on her front door and saw a stranger in her back yard. Two suspects forced their way inside the Arcadia home, but they fled before officers got there. An officer saw a suspicious occupied vehicle drive away from the area. Officers conducted a traffic stop and the driver was ultimately arrested for suspicion of residential burglary.
The arrestee was 23-year-old Robert Jones, who resides in Los Angeles, and is currently being held at the Arcadia Police Department’s jail with a bail of $60,000.
