Pasadena Police officers are reminding residents to secure their windows and doors during uncomfortably warm nights to keep intruders away after a “hot prowl” burglary left a Pasadena man knocked to the ground by an intruder Thursday.

Lt. John Mercado said the victim, a man in his late 30’s, resides in the 3000 block of Mataro Street in Pasadena.

“The victim had fallen asleep on his couch. He woke up at around 3 a.m. when he said he heard noises, and when he walked into his bedroom, the victim saw the suspect crouched down beside his bed,” Mercado said. “The suspect approached him, punched him in the face which knocked the victim to the ground, and the suspect ran from the house.”

The victim could only tell investigating officers the suspect was male and black and could not offer additional description, Mercado said.

Mercado added the victim wasn’t sure if anything had been taken during the burglary, and said he was going to inventory his property and let detectives know later.

Mercado said with warmer summer weather upon us, now is a good time to remember the dangers of leaving windows open at night.

“It’s important to remind readers that they make sure that they secure their windows at night, or if they’re going to keep them open, they keep them open no more than six inches or so and have some type of locking device that prevents the window from being opened any further,” said Mercado.

The hot prowl burglary suspect is at large. Anyone with information about the incident and the suspect is advised to get in touch with the Pasadena Police Department, at (626) 744-4501.
