Victim’s vehicle was reported stolen out of their driveway on February 1, 2010 in the early morning hours. At 0730 hours, on the same date, the suspects parked the stolen vehicle in a local parking lot and begin to unload property from the victim’s vehicle. Shortly thereafter, one of the suspects sets fire to the interior portion of the vehicle. As it became engulfed in flames, the suspect ran from the vehicle, and appears to be brushing himself off. (This may be an indication that this suspect was burned) At that point, the suspect appears to enter the white Jeep Cherokee as they both flee the scene. This incident was captured on surveillance footage.

We are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect’s vehicle and/or any suspects captured on the video.

For a digital copy of the video and photographs, contact either Senior Detective Tim Siedentopp of the El Monte Police Department at 626-258-8634 or email at tsiedentopp@elmontepd.org , or Captain Greg Cleveland of the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Arson Unit at 626-433-1011 or email at gclevela@fire.lacounty.gov.
