Woman finds strangers sleeping in her home
MONTROSE -- A Montrose woman returned to her apartment and found
that a man and woman she did not know broke in and fell asleep on her
bed, according to Glendale Police reports.
The 43-year-old woman told police about 9:15 a.m. Saturday that
she saw an unfamiliar black Ford Explorer parked in her parking lot,
and noticed several clothes in the SUV, as if the motorists were
living out of it, authorities said.
When she found the unidentified people sleeping, she woke them
told them to get out before she called 911. They dressed, and the man
said "sorry" before leaving, police said.
The victim told police nothing was missing from the apartment, and
she believes the man and woman got in because one of her children
left a door unlocked, police said.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE -- About 15 fraudulent checks worth a combined
$3,000 were allegedly cashed at Cashiers Express, a clerk told
Glendale Police.
The clerk said that 15 men stood outside Cashiers Express, 106 N.
Glendale Ave., about 4:30 p.m. Friday and claimed to be employed at
the same business, according to police reports. They walked into the
store in groups of two and three and cashed the fake checks, police
said.
The clerk then noticed one of the men try a second time to cash
another check that had the same check number and was for the same
amount as his first, police said. When she told him she needed to
verify the check's authenticity, the suspects fled on foot.
