Arcadia police have seen an increase in "distraction burglaries" in recent weeks and advises residents not to open the door to strangers. In this type of crime, the burglar is invited into a home after gaining the trust of the victim.

This has happened on the 300 block of Joyce Avenue and on the 1400 block of Rodeo Road.
