A store employee reported that a male suspect groped her as he walked past her in the store. The suspect was described as a white male between 30 and 40 years old, wearing a gray beanie, a brown hooded sweater, light brown pants, and black running shoes.
Officers reviewed security footage and collected evidence. Shortly thereafter, officers received a report of a theft at another nearby business. Upon arrival, they located an individual matching the description of the suspect from the earlier incident.

Though she’s a little reserved when meeting new people, with patience and gentle guidance, Juliet warms up to show her sweet and affectionate side. She’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn but will need some training to channel her excitement and become the well-mannered companion she’s meant to be.
Recently, Juliet had a fun outing with the Pasadena Humane mobile team, where she greeted visitors and spent time with other dogs. She enjoyed several walks, made a few select human friends (rewarding them with kisses and cuddles), and even had a playful romp with another dog. After her adventures, she calmly returned to the shelter, ready to rest after a full day of fun.
If you’re ready to provide Juliet with the love, structure, and playtime she craves, she’s ready to become your loyal and lively companion. Could you be her perfect match?
