South Pasadena Police arrested a quartet of residential burglary suspects Friday morning after a resident called about a couple of men knocking on doors in the neighborhood.
The call came into the department around 10 a.m. from a resident in the 4900 block of Collis Avenue, said Cpl. Matthew Ronnie of the South Pasadena Police Department.
"(The resident) saw two suspects knocking on doors, casing for a burglary," Ronnie said. "After that, basically our whole police department flooded the area, with some help from Pasadena PD's helicopter."
