How city brass fittings have been stolen
[Monrovia Police activities from the Police Department's Neighborhood Watch Report for April 30 - May 2. - Brad Haugaard]
During the last seven-day period, the Police Department handled 413 service events, resulting in 86 investigations.
Theft of City Property - Police Requesting Public's Help
Over the last several months, a number of city sprinkler valves have been cut and the brass fittings have been stolen. These valves operate the city sprinkler systems for the parkways along our city roads. The valves are most likely being stolen for the value of the brass. Suspects are cutting the brass out with a Sawzall type tool.
City signs are also being stolen at an increasing rate. Suspects are steeling stop signs, street name signs, street sweeping signs and speed limit signs. Police are requesting help from the public to report crimes and help catch these thieves. These suspects may even appear to be contractors servicing the equipment.
If you see individuals tampering with any of these items, please call police immediately.
