Lafayette Police Blotter
Take Your Purse With You, 3/5/10 An unknown suspect smashed the window of a Ford Expedition that was parked in front of the choral room at Acalanes High School and stole the owner's purse. Police are attempting to retrieve possible video footage. No suspects, witnesses or leads at this time.

Garage Thief, 3/6/10 An unknown thief entered the garage of a Hermosa Court residence during the night while the occupants were sleeping. The thief took items from the garage and both cars. These actions must not have been thrilling enough for the suspect because he broke into the neighbor's car, too.

Take the Money and Run, 3/7/10 A brazen Concord resident entered the Lafayette Safeway, pried open a cash register and made away with the cash. Needing a little more cash for his habit, the thief headed to the Alamo Safeway and pulled the same stunt. The suspect was caught on video in both stores and was identified, arrested and charged with two counts of commercial burglary and possession of narcotics.

Lock your Locker, 3/7/10 An unknown suspect entered the break room at Boswell's on Mt. Diablo Boulevard. He removed one employee's purse and a second employee's ATM and California ID cards from unlocked lockers. The purse was found in a garbage can outside the break room with nothing of value missing. The second employee canceled her ATM card. Be on the lookout for non-employees in employee-only areas.
