Claremont Chamber: 'Thieves Got Away With Nothing'

The number of recent break-ins and burglaries seem to indicate that burglars have made a target out of Claremont’s bustling businesses.

But on Friday, at least one thief was forced to abandon a break-in effort. And that could partially be due to the efforts of the ownership who installed an effective alarm system, chamber officials said.

At 1:40 a.m. Friday, Chamber officials said report that whoever tried to force their way into Rocky Liquor, at 1045 W. Foothill Blvd. was stopped by an alarm before they could get in.

“This time the thieves got away with nothing!” Chamber officials wrote. “This business had the perfect alarm system, it seems.”

In an effort to help businesses better protect themselves, the Chamber put out alerts whenever a crime is committed against one of the city's businesses. A number of break-ins and thefts were reported since the start of the year.

Among them:

On March 13, burglars smashed the front glass door to Euro Café and took money.

On March 13, a thief ordered a yogurt at Razzle Dazzle yogurt shop. He then demanded money which he grabbed and ran off.

On Feb. 5, burglars smashed in the glass a Chevron gas station on Indian Hill. In that same story we reported a break in at the Wolfe’s Market, 160 W. Foothill Boulevard. The market was target on Jan 31.

Chamber officials and Claremont Police asks anyone with any information regarding this crime  to call the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
