DUI arrest 8/11/16
The driver of a 2015 Ford pickup picked up an unwanted tail - a Moraga police officer - when the driver suddenly swerved into the officer's traffic lane. Not content with his first close encounter, the driver swerved toward and nearly struck several more vehicles innocently parked along Moraga Road. When finally corralled, the 63-year-old Castro Valley resident reportedly reeked of booze. He was arrested on DUI, taken to Martinez Detention Facility and booked.

Suspicious Circumstances 8/14/16
When a Moraga resident noticed several mailboxes open nearby, he reviewed video recordings and called police about a white car with sunroof and spoiler.
