Pot in purse, 12/04/14 The HomeGoods store reported that a female suspect walked into the store carrying a large purse which appeared empty. The suspect then started walking around the store and made her way to the kitchen department. She picked up a large pot worth $149.99 and was observed putting the pot in her purse, then exiting the store without paying for the pot. She was placed under citizen's arrest by store staff. Perhaps medical marijuana would have been a better option?
Stolen identity, 12/04/14 Over the past two months, an unknown suspect has unlawfully withdrawn approximately $6,300 from a Longfield Place resident's checking account. The incident started when the victim received an unsolicited phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. She then answered a series of questions and provided her bank account number to the caller. Red flag! She became suspicious when she noticed unauthorized charges on her account. It appears that all of the transactions were conducted via the Internet. The Moraga resident has since purchased a new computer and closed the compromised bank account.
D.U.I. 12/06/14 A red Mustang was pulled over at 2 a.m. near the entrance to Saint Mary's College for unsafe speed. Cops noticed the suspicious smell of alcohol on the driver, who happened to be 18 years old, clearly too young to be legally drinking. He was placed under arrest and submitted to a breath test which showed 0.14 percent blood alcohol level.
Missing wallet, 12/06/14 A woman was shopping on Center Street and placed her wallet next to her 4-year-old son who was sitting in a shopping cart. She left the cart briefly while she looked for an item. Unfortunately, it wasn't until she was ready to check out that she realized the wallet was gone. Credit cards, gift cards, driver's license and a blank check were in the wallet. Sounds like a Grinch stole Christmas.
Another missing wallet, 12/06/14 A woman was shopping at HomeGoods in the afternoon when she noticed her wallet was missing from her purse. She believes an unknown person(s) may have removed her wallet while she was shopping inside the store. It contained a checkbook and credit cards, which had already been used in Walnut Creek.
Phone missing, 12/08/14 Moraga cops were dispatched to make contact with a 94-year-old citizen regarding a lost cell phone. The gentleman told police he couldn't find his phone and that it was missing or stolen. He had last seen his iPhone 4S in the first week of November.
