Thieves have torn apart expensive rooftop air-conditioning units at numerous Pasadena businesses looking for valuable copper parts, police say.

At least six businesses were hit in recent weeks, according to the Pasadena Police Department.

Two small businesses, a bakery and a pet hospital, are among those without air-conditioning due to the thefts. Darlene Lopez, an employee at Pasadena Animal Hospital, told KTLA that the vet’s office has brought in swamp coolers to try to keep the business cool during the summer heat.

“We have our patients in the cooler area of the hospital,” Lopez said. 

Security footage of one of the thefts shows a suspect hopping a wall on July 12 before taking off with an air-conditioning unit. A suspected accomplice was also seen on a bicycle in the background, Pasadena police said.

Authorities are encouraging businesses to install metal cages around the units and set up security cameras.

A black bear was caught on camera roaming the yards of multiple Glendale homes Friday.

Video provided by a viewer shows the bear climbing onto a wall on the 3300 block of Paraiso Way, down the street from Valley View Elementary School, at around 4:15 p.m. The bear then sidesteps a gate and leaps down into the home’s backyard.

Glendale Police Department officers were seen following the bear as it made its way through the neighborhood. A resident had a brief encounter with the bear while they were walking their dog, the viewer who provided the video told KTLA. The resident, dog and bear were all unharmed, they said.

Residents in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains have said that bear sightings are more frequent since the Eaton Fire, which burned more than 14,000 acres in the Altadena area.
