Police: 4 Suspects Swipe Coins, Jewelry in Back-to-Back Burglaries

Four suspects hit two South Pasadena houses in burglaries that occurred half a mile from each other this week. 

A resident's surveillance camera on Tuesday captured images of two men driving up to a residence in the 1800 block of Wayne, before parking on the street and walking to the rear of the residence, according to a South Pasadena Police crime bulletin. You may view the bulletin attached to this article. The suspect vehicle is described as dark blue, or black, a large size SUV, possibly a Lincoln Navigator.

Two additional men were spotted entering the home, some time between 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. 

The men entered the house through an unlocked rear door. 

That same day, between 2-5 p.m. in the 1200 block of Stratford, unidentified suspects climbed into a house through an opened rear window. A neighbor reported seeing a dark blue, or black pick-up truck with shell in the area as well as a male, 20 years old, thin- athletic build, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 160 pounds, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a hood over his head and gray shorts.

The loss to both homes includes an iMac computer, iPods, jewelry, coins and a Kindle Fire.

Police can not confirm if the two burglaries are related, but the two residences are about half a mile apart.
