Moraga Police Blotter

Carport storage break-in, 12/10/12 An Ascot Drive resident wasn't sure of the time or date, as much as a week earlier when an unknown subject broke into the storage unit located in the carport. No ideas on a possible suspect. Estimated loss $1,200.

Shed break-in, 12/10/12 Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School staff reported a burglary to a custodial storage shed on the northeast corner of the property. Forcible entry was made using a pry tool of some sort. Maintenance equipment valued at $2,500 was taken. Who would steal a used lawnmower?

Counterfeit cash, 12/09/12 An adult male attempted to pass a counterfeit $100 bill to buy $6 worth of items at Moraga Hardware. Smart clerk checked the bill and determined it wasn't real - returning it to the would-be shopper. Fellow left the area in a large SUV, clerk was able to write down the car's California license plate number. Police checked DMV records and found that the license was not on file.

Bike theft, 12/06/12 An Ascot Drive resident left a locked bike underneath the stairs of the apartment complex. Sometime between 12/06 and 12/08 the bike disappeared. Estimated loss $200.

Cat fight, 12/07/12 Two female Ascot Drive roommates had a dispute over a mutual love interest. One of the girls lashed out at the other, punching her in the face. Roommate confessed to the battery and apologized for losing control of her emotions. Roommate agreed with the cop's suggestion to spend the night somewhere else. The victim declined to press charges.

D.U.I., 12/05/12 A white Chrysler was pulled over in front of 7-11 around 11 p.m. for numerous vehicle code violations. As usual, field sobriety tests were performed, and the driver flunked. Officers escorted the subject into the Moraga P.D. booking room where he became physically combative and fought with cops. Now in addition to D.U.I. charges comes obstructing police duties and assaulting a police officer. Way to make a bad situation worse. Finally, the fellow's car was towed away.

Lamorinda Weekly also received a report of a gasoline theft Dec. 12. Two Donald Drive homeowners were shocked to find that the extra car they park on their property adjacent to their house was out of gas, when it was just filled up the day before. Apparently sometime during the night an unknown suspect siphoned out an entire tank of gas.
