Loud party, 5/12/12 Perhaps the bevy of beer cans on the front lawn was a heads up to police? An anonymous call came in to cops that there was a social gathering on Lucia Lane, around 11:30 p.m. Moraga's finest estimated fifty people were inside the residence. Fiesta host received a written warning about loud and unruly parties. Party's over.
Attempted purse snatching, 5/13/12 Or rather purse shoplifting. Two suspects attempted to run out of T.J. Maxx with eight expensive hand bags, valued at over $1,500. The two were almost caught red, er - purse handed, but dropped the goods and ran out of the store. Suspects ran to their car and got away, purses never left the store.
False alarms, 5/12/12 This time on Merrill Circle. Police responded to an audible alarm, but performed an exterior security check and found nothing wrong. Same thing reported the next day in the middle of the afternoon to a home just down the street - no signs of forced entry. Ditto for a home on Camino Pablo on May 11.
Abandoned kids, 5/11/12 Police determined that the parent of three juveniles was neglecting to provide a safe and healthy environment. The children were removed by Child Protective Services and animal control removed two dogs from the home on Ascot Drive.
Breakfast of Champions, 5/11/12 Cops pulled over a Dodge Charger on Moraga Road at 7:40 in the morning. The driver was talking on cell phone and appeared to be intoxicated. She was taken into custody for driving under the influence and later released to a friend.
Mirror Mirror, 5/08/12 A GMC Sierra pick-up truck was parked on Corliss Drive between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Although the truck owner hadn't seen or heard anything, when he went out to the vehicle at 10:00 - someone smashed the driver's door mirror and its housing. It's a $400 mystery that comes with seven years bad luck.
