Male Driver Reportedly Followed Young Girls

Police searching for alleged suspect, seek public's help.

Two young girls alleged they were followed Thursday afternoon by a man in a blue van along Monterey Road.

The incident was reported Sept. 27 around 3:30 p.m. near the intersection of Monterey Road and Orange Grove Avenue. A man in a full-sized, navy blue SUV allegedly pulled up alongside the girls and motioned them to enter his van. The girls ignored the suspect and ran back towards Orange Grove and hid behind some bushes.


The suspect did not say anything to the victims.

The girls, both 11 years old, had been on foot walking with two other young female friends. The two victims split up with their friends and walked into the intersection while the other girls went a different direction.

The suspect is described as a white, or Hispanic man, 40 years old, heavy set, with short-cropped, balding hair. He wore a blue Hawaiian shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call the South Pasadena Police Department at (626) 403-7297.

If PARENTS of children in SPUSD donated money multiple times a years {as I did/do} then maybe itRead More would ease some hardships in the classroom but they DON'T. There's a small circle of parents that always give because they can. That's good thing but it shouldn't always be on their backs. EVERY parent should give money to SPUSD. Every dollar counts!

Thank you but rather than ask South Pas residents to dig into their own pockets yet again, why notRead More help teachers by using funds already available? We have historically high reserves and stable state funding for several years.The district refuses to even negotiate salary increases. As of the past week, the district also now refuses to negotiate reduced class size changes. The recent parcel tax was passed largely to ensure that class sizes would stay low. How is it they can take money from citizens promising this and then not follow through?

This is sad and angering. Supers seem to cursed with a strain of lowsy. This is when the people enRead More masse need to stand up for the teachers and start their own pot of relief until the over due raise comes on line.

If by "learning loss" is meant student forgets what he has learned, then I would guessRead More that there was no learning at all, but a memorization of facts given. If by learning loss is meant there was a gap where no curricula was given, then that is just the point of Summer Break. Learning other non class room subjects such as what a hike in the forest has to offer..a trip to the beach...reading a good book. Just sitting under a tree and enjoying. My first impression of LearnBop was it was learning how to dance the Bop to Little Richard or Bill Hailey. Now, that is something even I could get into.
