Laptop

GLENDALE — A former Glendale police officer and attorney convicted of seducing young girls online was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of violating the terms of his parole, including possessing computers, officials said. Parole agents took convicted sex offender Arthur Crabtree, 49, into custody during a routine parole compliance search after they found two laptop computers and other suspicious material in his east Glendale home, said James Symington III, the Los Angeles area parole administrator for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Reporting a crime in Glendale could soon be just as easy as the press of a button. Possibly as soon as this summer, residents who want to report vandalism, lost property and identity, petty and grand theft and bicycle thefts to Glendale police can do so via their computers or smartphones. Police Department officials have plans to launch a new Citizen Online Police Reporting system through which the public can file reports online instead of calling an officer out to the scene for minor crimes.
