Residential burglary, 6/11/12 A Wickham Drive resident came home mid-afternoon to find her garage door open and a television in the driveway. Cops checked the interior of the home and found it completely ransacked. It looks like burglars gained access via a dog door in the back yard. The homeowners estimate the loss to be between $20,000 and $30,000, but weren't able to provide a specific list of stolen property at the moment. Unfortunately no leads at this time.
D.U.I. trifecta, 6/09/12 Three for three - speeding - going 55 in a 35 m.p.h. zone, burnt out license plate lamp, and "displaying objective signs of intoxication," according to the police report. The driver flunked field sobriety tests. But wait, there's more - this particular driver was on probation for a prior D.U.I. He was arrested and taken to jail.
Flags stolen, 6/09/12 Two expensive, large flags were stolen from a business on Rheem Boulevard. The reporting party told cops that they must have been taken after 9 p.m. Estimated loss $360 - and just a handful of days before Flag Day on June 14.
Driving on suspended license, 6/08/12 A Toyota 4Runner made an illegal U-turn on Moraga Road close to midnight. Turns out the 31-year-old driver had his license suspended for a prior D.U.I. He received two for the price of one - ticket for the u-turn and driving with a suspended license. Not much of a bargain.
Runaway teenager, 6/08/12 A Moraga father last saw his son at 6:30 in the morning, before he left for school - the pair had a disagreement prior to his departure. The young man has a history of running away. Police put out a county wide Be on the Look Out (BOLO) notice and entered relevant information into the missing person system.
Pool accident, 6/06/12 The Moraga-Orinda Fire Department responded to a house on Del Monte Way to check on a 9-year-old girl who had struck her head while swimming in the backyard pool. About two dozen kids were gathered for an end of the year pool party. The little girl struck her head and started to sink to the bottom - nearby adults were alerted and quickly removed her from the water. She was conscious and talking when firefighters arrived, but was taken to a hospital to be examined further.
