Phone scam, 7/8/13 A Greenbriar Drive resident got a phone call informing her that she had won a $3.7 million dollar lottery and she had to pay $2,000 to release her winnings. The subject followed instructions and sent a $2,000 check to Washington. Oddly enough, there was another call asking for a $32,000 payment to cover federal taxes, so she sent another check, then called her bank, which informed her she had been involved in a scam.
Yelling and walking in the street, 7/08/13 In the middle of the afternoon a woman was yelling and walking into on-coming traffic at Moraga Road near Ascot. Cops made contact and determined that she was a danger to herself and noted her prior history of mental instability. She was transported by ambulance to a hospital for a 72-hour psychiatric hold.
Unlicensed driver, 7/7/13 An 18-year-old male was driving a 2003 Yamaha off-road dirt bike on Moraga Road at Buckingham Drive. Perhaps he wasn't aware of the meaning of "off-road?" The fellow was cited for not having a motorcycle license endorsement, proof of insurance, and registration. The bike was towed from the scene.
Illegal fireworks, 7/05/13 An anonymous caller alerted police about illegal fireworks occurring near the intersection of Paseo Del Rio and Campolindo Drive around 1:30 a.m. When the police arrived they were unable to locate anyone using illegal fireworks.
Up in smoke, 7/04/13 Moraga Country Club security staff informed police that they suspected approximately 50 underage people were drinking and smoking marijuana on the second fairway during the fireworks show. Police were unable to corral the alleged suspects before the event ended.
Juveniles drinking, 7/4/13 At 11:30 p.m., long after the fireworks show had ended, police were dispatched to Augusta Drive on a report of 20 to 50 juveniles drinking alcohol. When the cops arrived they were unable to locate the involved parties. What are the odds they figured the party's over?
