Full Notification

At approximately 10:20am today, a resident in the 1700 block of Highland Oaks Drive observed three suspicious subjects driving in the neighborhood.  Due to recent thefts of packages from neighboring doorsteps, the resident called in the suspicious activity.  This call from a concerned resident is what got our officers responding to the area of Highland Oaks Drive.   Within seconds of the call, a GPS Tracker was activated at one of the neighbor’s homes on Highland Oaks.

Police Dispatchers were able to direct officers to the location of the stolen GPS enabled package and Arcadia officers apprehended the theft suspects as they crossed into the city of Monrovia.

The theft suspects not only were in possession of the stolen GPS package, but they were driving in a stolen car, and that car matched the description of the suspicious vehicle seen by the resident who reported it earlier.

Arrested were:

SEAN CLEMENS, Male 45 yrs. from West Covina
MELISSA ARAMBULA, Female 35 yrs., from El Monte
NICKOLAS MARTINEZ, Male 41 yrs., from Bassett

All three are charged with Grand Theft and additional charges may be added as the investigation continues.

Again, this is a perfect example of “See something, say something”.  Please continue to be vigilant in your neighborhoods, take an active role, and call the Arcadia Police Department if you think someone or something is suspicious and needs to be investigated.  Good Work Arcadia!
