A crook left a trail for police after breaking and entering into 2 vehicles last Thursday, April 12, parked on Mt. Baldy Road. Both cars were parked in a turnout near San Antonio Dam. Sometime between 4:15 p.m. and 6 p.m., the thief entered the vehicles by smashing a window. The possessions located in one of the cars were left untouched, while another was reportedly missing a wallet with money and credit cards, a purse, 2 school backpacks with books and an MP3 player totaling about $500. Though the thief has not been located, a stack of driver’s licenses and credit cards stolen in burglaries out of San Bernardino County and Santa Ana were found nearby. Investigation is ongoing.
