Tax man fake out, 3/07/15 A Via Granada resident informed police that she received a letter in the mail from the Internal Revenue Service informing her that someone had filed a tax return using her information. Probably not a good Samaritan, but rather an identity thief looking to enjoy her presumed refund. Same thing happened to a Del Monte Way resident.
Park vandalism, 3/09/15 Two signs were stolen from the Moraga Commons Park; each sign was valued at approximately $300. The person reporting the incidents also noted vandalism to the bocce ball courts. The wood frame perimeter of the courts was damaged and needed to be replaced. Estimated damage around $200.
DUI 3/13/15 A pickup truck was observed driving erratically on Moraga Way near School Street at 6:30 p.m. The middle-aged driver, who was not a Moraga resident, displayed the distinctive odor of alcohol. He completed field sobriety tests, then had a blood test at the police department.
Vandalism in progress, 3/14/15 Apparently someone really didn't like the sign at Miramonte Drive. A witness reported to cops that at 11 p.m. someone damaged the sign, and then noted their license plate as the subject drove off. Police contacted the person responsible at his residence, who later admitted to the vandalism and was detained. Damage estimated to be $500. The vandal was placed under arrest. Anger issues? Whatever happened to using your words to solve problems?
Burglary, 3/14/15 An Ascot Drive resident reported to police that his storage locker which is located in an unsecured carport was broken into. Missing items included a Coleman tent and an REI sleeping bag. Was the thief a camping aficionado? Estimated loss $400.
