The National Weather Service is currently tracking a flash flood watch that is anticipated to be in effect from March 21, 2018 at 11:00 p.m. – March 23, 2018 at 5:00 a.m. This storm will impact Southern California during this time frame. These storms will bring an estimated 2”-3” of rainfall to the area.

The City of Eastvale, in conjunction with partner agencies, have been proactive in preparing for heavy rainfall by inspecting catch basins and storm drain system to help prevent flooding within City limits.

A larger volume of water should be expected to flow in the roadway during a heavy downpour. This is normal, as roadways are designed to carry certain amounts of water runoff before being caught by catch basins and underground storm drain systems.

Residents are encouraged to plan and prepare for the expected storms by following these tips:

• Clear debris from all roof drains, gutters, downspouts, yard drains, and private drainage channels.
• Allow extra time in your commute to work and/or school.
• Stay away from open storm drain channels and catch basins. James Huber Park and Harada Park serve as flood control detention basins and should not be accessed during heavy rainfall or while occupied with water.
• Stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Report downed electrical lines to the Southern California Edison at 1-800-611-1911.
• Do not attempt to cross a flowing stream of water. Even shallow water can sweep you off your feet.
• Do not drive through flooded streets and avoid needless trips. “Turn Around Don’t Drown”.
• Check your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance for flood insurance coverage. If none exists and your home is in a flood plain, contact your insurance agent to discuss coverage options.
• Keep your car fueled and ready to go and know alternate routes to and from your home and workplace.

Additional flood preparedness information can be found on the City’s website at http://www.eastvaleca.gov/residents/emergency-preparedness/resources or by visiting https://www.ready.gov/floods.

Crime or Incident: Vehicle, Residential and Commercial Burglaries
Location: Chino Hills, Chino, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Tracy, Walnut, Los Angeles, Fontana, Ontario and Las Vegas, Nevada
Suspect: Mark Ellis, 36-year-old resident of Chino

SUMMARY:
On Sunday, February 4, 2018, Chino Hills deputies conducted a traffic stop for Vehicle Code violations on a vehicle driven by 36-year-old Mark Ellis from Chino. Through investigation, deputies found stolen property inside the car. During a follow up investigation, Detectives executed a search warrant for six storage units in the city of Montclair. Over $200,000 worth of property was recovered from the storage facility.

As Detectives sorted through the recovered property, they determined Ellis had conducted vehicle, residential, and commercial burglaries since at least 2006 in Chino Hills, Chino, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Tracy, W alnut, Los Angeles, Fontana, Ontario, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Based on evidence and information developed, Detectives believe Ellis is a serial burglar who kept and stored the majority of the property he stole over the years.

Detectives have worked tirelessly on returning stolen property to the proper victims. To date, they have been able to return over $63,000 worth of property to the following victims: Millenia MMA, Next Level Gym, The Pilates Circle, Y.I.C. Tae Kwon Do School, Montessori School, Self-Made Gym, Don Lugo High School, City of Chino Hills, Chino High School, and Ayala High School. We have confirmed over 50 vehicle burglaries with 40 victims identified. Several firearms have been recovered as well as electronic devices, cellular phones, tablets, tools, gym equipment, etc.

Mark Ellis was arrested and booked at West Valley Detention Center and is currently being held without bail.

We are currently seeking additional victims. If you believe you were a victim of Mark Ellis, or would like to claim your property, please contact Detective J. Jackson at Chino Hills Police at (909)364-2000.

Shared from an Eastvale resident on Star Ruby near Harrison, Chandler, Walnut Grove

“My house was definitely being scouted yesterday. While I was in the shower, 3 cars pulled up to my house. 1 light gold dodge caravan with paper “STG” plates. Very heavy set M/B driver. 1 white newer Hyundai with F/B driver. 1 older maroon Toyota corolla/scion M/B driver. The heavy set black male rang my bell and knocked on my door several times, then proceeded to stand in my lawn afterwards. I think he kept knocking because he heard my kids in the house and thought someone would answer. I don’t know any of the people who arrived at my house, nor do I know their cars.

This happened between 4:50-5:10PM yesterday. If any of my neighbors on Star Ruby Ave between Walnut Grove and Harrison have street facing cameras, plz message me.

One of my neighbors caught footage of the minivan using his driveway to make a u-turn and that’s how we saw the ‘STG” paper plates. The white Hyundai had no front plate. They seen leaving Star Ruby Ave towards Harrison.

My husband called the non emergency line to file a report but they said they couldn’t take one because we didn’t have the plate numbers. The video footage file from my neighbor is too large to post so I included screenshots of the cars. Cross streets Star Ruby/Corona Valley

Residents help save a Disabled 10 Year Old Boy Running in the Street

On Sunday, January 21st, Walnut / Diamond Bar Station Deputies, Fabian and Skadsem, received a call for service of a “disabled 10yr old boy running in the street”. The informant, who is a Walnut resident, remained on the line with our 911 dispatcher while following the child in their vehicle. Prior to the deputies arriving, the child ran onto Amar Road, which is a highly traveled, four lane road with a 45 MPH speed limit. The informant positioned their vehicle behind the child in order to shield him from approaching vehicles. A second motorist, also a Walnut resident, saw what was occurring and also positioned their vehicle to protect the child. A short time later, the deputies arrived and were able to stop the child and get him out of the roadway. Additional deputy personnel canvassed the area and were able to locate the child’s residence. Shortly after, he was safely reunited with his mother.

Deputy Fabian, who is a 30yr veteran of the Sheriff’s Department, stated “he whole heartedly believes, if it weren’t for the actions of the two Walnut motorists, this incident would have resulted in a tragedy.”

The actions of two City of Walnut citizens, exemplify what it means to be a good citizen, looking out for others even at risk to themselves!
