A burglar allegedly broke into the home of an Alhamra resident early Sunday morning, taking several valuable items with him including her wedding ring, NBC Los Angeles reports. Susie Tanasi woke up to a stranger crawling around the floor of her bedroom, apparently after he had entered the home through an unlocked kitchen window. "Nowadays, you have to be hyper vigilant," she told NBC.

Home burglaries have jumped in Alhambra since the beginning of the year, doubling from 14 reports in January to 28 in April.  The chart above reflects the trends in home burlgaries over the last four months.
