A Close Shave? 7/20/11 During a vehicle stop for expired tags, Orinda Police discovered the driver had a suspended license and was on felony probation. A search of the car and its occupants revealed the two had stashed 27 packages of razor blades in their pants. Not a very sharp move. Surveillance videos showed they had recently nicked the lot from CVS Pharmacy.
Born to be Wild, 7/16/11 Two subjects found running in the street along Moraga Way were yelling wildly and hitting cars. When caught, they were charged with threatening, battery, drug possession, drug transportation and sales; and, no surprise here, drug ingestion. One subject was taken to John Muir Hospital and treated for ingestion; the other was taken to Martinez and booked.
Ride Swap, 7/13/11 Four under-21 occupants of a Ford Mustang were found to be drunk in public. Police found a water bottle being "recycled" as an alcohol container. One occupant, clearly not thinking clearly, gave a false ID to arresting officers. They were carted off to Martinez.
Paper or Plastic? 7/8/11 Two 36-year old suspects were arrested on credit card fraud while shopping Orinda Safeway. One had an outstanding warrant issued in San Francisco (paper), the other was in possession of 17 credit cards (plastic). Their spree ended early when police intervened and booked them into Martinez Detention Facility.
Won't you be my Neighbor? 6/30/11 A residential burglary on Camino del Diablo was interrupted when a neighbor confronted the suspect, who was toting a yellow pry bar and pillow case full of stolen items, including a lap top. The suspect fled, but his license was recorded. $2500 in goods were recovered. The two leading suspects are also the registered owners of the escape Cadillac.
