Free Wilderness Shuttle Rides to Deukmejian Park Today

Glendale, CA · August 16, 2026

Catching the morning breeze along Honolulu Avenue is a fine way to kick off Sunday before afternoon warmth sets in.


The Lead

Detectives with the Glendale Police Department’s Financial Crimes Unit recently arrested five individuals following an investigation into a mail theft and identity fraud operation based at a multi-unit apartment complex along the 500 block of West Colorado Street. Investigators launched the inquiry after residents reported unauthorized individuals repeatedly breaching complex mailboxes. Officers caught the suspects on-site, recovering stolen mail, altered financial documents, and fraudulent identification tools. For local apartment dwellers, mailbox security remains a primary concern; prompt local reporting proved essential in helping officers disrupt the scheme before further damage occurred. Department officials advise residents to collect mail promptly each day, report damaged mailbox locks immediately to property managers, and report suspicious activity around common areas. The cases have now been submitted to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for formal prosecution.
