Identity theft, 10/01/12 A Birchwood Drive resident was contacted by her detail-oriented financial analyst in Orange County about a fraudulent e-mail sent from one of her e-mail accounts about preparing for a wire transfer of funds. The wire transfer was cancelled before any money changed hands. An unknown suspect appeared to have hacked the account and gotten sensitive personal information.
Kids unattended in car, 10/01/12 Cops responded to the parking lot in front of T.J. Maxx after getting a call that two small children had been left for an unknown length of time inside a parked car on a warm day. When police arrived the mother was back along with her two school aged children. She claims she was unable to remove one of the kids because he was upset and struggling, so she left the door open as she walked away, while watching the kids. After a couple minutes she returned to the car and her son started to calm down - then they all went shopping. Officers were unable to determine how long the kids had been left unattended.
House burgled, 9/22/12, A Greenfield Drive homeowner was out of town for approximately nine days when someone entered her home by breaking through a sliding glass door in her master bedroom. Several pieces of jewelry were taken from the bathroom and dresser - estimated loss $650. No witnesses or leads at this time.
Drunk and disorderly, 9/30/12 It was almost 2 a.m. when St. Mary's Public Safety Officers called in Moraga P.D. to assist a detained individual who was pounding on the doors and windows of the campus cop's car. The person was asked to leave the campus, refused and attempted to flee from the Public Safety Officer. Apparently he was caught - should have just left after being asked nicely. After blowing a 0.18 blood alcohol level, the uncooperative fellow was placed under citizen's arrest for being drunk in public.
D.U.I., 9/28/12 A black Land Rover was pulled over for speeding on Moraga Road close to midnight. Police didn't need a crystal ball to figure out she had been drinking recently due to her "spirited" odor, rather like alcohol. She flunked the breathalyzer test with a 0.14 score. Legally drunk is any reading above 0.08. She was arrested for D.U.I. and later released to a friend.
Jewelry heist, 9/25/12 A Baltusrol resident called police to report a theft - she thinks the carpet cleaner folks did it. Two days after she had her carpet cleaned, she went to retrieve her jewelry and noticed that it was missing from her bedroom. The homeowner is very certain that the jewelry was there prior to having the carpet cleaned. No signs of forced entry. Estimated value $5800.
