Arroyo Parkway.<\/p>\n<p>Business owner Daniel Griffin told officers that his fianc\u00e9e discovered something was wrong at about 10:30 a.m. after noticing excessive heat inside the business. She suspected the air-conditioning unit may have been targeted because of recent reports of similar thefts.<\/p>\n<p>HVAC technicians were sent to inspect the unit later that day and found that it had been extensively damaged.<\/p>\n<p>According to police, a technician determined that approximately half of the copper wiring had been removed from the unit and said the entire system would need to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>The technician estimated that about $4,000 worth of copper wiring was stolen. The damaged air-conditioning unit is valued at approximately $11,000.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin believes the suspects may have entered the business between 12:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. and may have used a collapsible ladder to access the rooftop.<\/p>\n<p>No suspect information was available. The business has surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thieves stole thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of copper wiring from a rooftop air-conditioning unit at a Pasadena business,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,1977],"class_list":["post-402397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-pasadena"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
