(Feb. 15, 2005) -- In a brazen midday crime, a resident of ELB's quiet "Plaza" area (north of Spring St. and east of Palo Verde Ave.) returned home to find three burglars inside her house, going through her belongings.

Within moments, she was pushed the floor, faced with a demand to produce still items. The trio eventually left via the backdoor and hopped a fence into an alley...absconding with items of personal property.
