Who's Armed and Dangerous now? 5/12/11 That's what police want to know. Someone broke the rear window of an SUV parked at Lafayette Park Hotel and stole a Browning handgun. The gun was valued at over $5,000; $400 damage was also done to the broken window.
Definitely not soccer mom material, 5/15/11 A thief stole a Toyota van from the Acalanes High School lot. The suspect, 5' 11 and 180 pounds, was wearing a big red tee shirt, baggy blue jeans and has buzz cut blond hair, and arm tattoos. Don't hang your arm out the window driving around-someone might recognize you.
No bail, no how...5/9/11 The deal is sweetheart-you're on probation. Violate that probation (no details available) and you get served with a warrant. Lafayette Police caught up with you on Acalanes Road, arrested you, and took you to Martinez for booking. This time...no bail.
No Free Parking...Go Directly to Jail, 5/3/11 A graveyard shift traffic stop on Mt. Diablo Blvd. and subsequent vehicle search turned up stolen property in the trunk. Police notified victims. One victim identified his property and recognized the vehicle as having been recently parked in his apartment complex. That thief didn't have a Monopoly on smarts.
Car jacket-ed, 5/10/11 Someone broke the side window of a car at Lafayette Park Hotel, causing $100 damage and stealing a men's jacket valued at $100.
You've (not) Got Mail, 5/3/11 A Pine Lane resident lost $50 in material goods and a lot more in personal aggravation when he discovered his outside mail box was rifled for valuables. An envelope from the DMV thought to contain vehicle registration information was on site but empty.
Got Gas? 5/5/11 A thief crawled inside an Upper Happy Valley home through an unlocked window. $2,000 went missing, including an ATM. card. The victim cancelled his card, but not before it was used to buy gas at a station in Concord.
