By Mary O’KEEFE

LASD-Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station are investigating an early morning robbery that occurred at 6 a.m. today at a home in the 2700 block of Mary Street.

“A [female resident] woke up to someone rummaging through her closet,” said Lt. Mark Slater. “A brief struggle ensued.”

The woman apparently got up to confront the suspect who threw her on the bed. There was a brief struggle and the suspect fled the home with credit cards and a cellphone.

The woman’s husband had left for work earlier that morning and there was a small child in the home at the time of the robbery. No one was hurt during the incident.

The suspect is described as a male, black, 6’ tall weighing about 200 pounds. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a type of hoodie shirt with an eagle emblem on the front. Slater said the suspect did not appear to have a weapon. He appeared to enter the home by removing the screen of an open or unlocked window.

As of press time there was no description of the suspect’s vehicle. The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone who may have seen anything regarding this robbery is asked to contact the CV Sheriff’s Station at (818) 248-3464.
