Speeding with booze, 4/12/14 A 19-year-old was speeding down Rheem Boulevard, going 54 mph with an open bottle that was about three quarters full of Bacardi. The driver's alcohol content was determined to be 0.034 percent - less than the legal limit of 0.08 percent, but because the young gentleman was under 21 he received a trifecta of tickets: open container, speeding, and being under 21 with a measureable blood alcohol level.
Another speeding with booze, 4/11/14 It was just after 9 p.m. when cops pulled over a Lexus going 51 mph on Moraga Road near St. Mary's Road. As the car pulled to the curb, the observant officer noticed the passenger, later determined to be 16 years old, quickly drank from a water bottle that had fruit punch and vodka in it. There was an open bottle of Gordon's vodka found in the trunk. The passenger was issued a citation for consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle and was released at the scene to his mother. The driver was also cited for triple tickets as noted above.
Vandals causing trouble, 4/12/14 About 20 juveniles were vandalizing cars in the Rheem Shopping Center parking lot. Officers were contacted by local business employees who reported being assaulted by about seven of the teenagers, who also broke out the front window of a restaurant. The youths were spotted behind the shopping center and police gave chase, all but one got away, despite cops shouting to stop. The fellow who was caught was arrested for resisting arrest, possession of alcohol, drunk in public and possession of less than an ounce of pot.
Theft from unlocked car, 4/12/14 An unlocked car was entered at the Campolindo High School parking lot. Undisclosed property valued at $280 was taken from the car, along with a credit card that was used in Concord and Brentwood. Luckily both transactions were unsuccessful.
Unwanted spray paint, 4/10/14 Sometime between the evening of April 10 to early April 11, an unknown subject spray painted graffiti on the exterior of a building at Campolindo High School. Clean up costs are estimated to be $3,000. Similar incidents were reported at other local high schools. The incident is under investigation.
Money and jewels missing, 4/09/14 A Camino Peral resident stated a temporary caregiver was used for a short amount of time, when coincidentally money and jewelry went missing from the house. The only other person in the home besides the reporting person and her elderly mother was the caregiver. The caregiver's employers responded to the residence and the caregiver was also supposed to meet there. The caregiver never showed up and stopped answering her cell phone.
