Residential burglary, 4/21/15 A Carr drive homeowner reported to police that sometime between 9:20 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. an unknown person entered the home and removed financial documents and a variety of jewelry. No witnesses or leads at this time.

Possession with intent to inhale, 4/22/15 It wasn't even 9 a.m. when cops responded to Canyon Road on a report of a person huffing from an aerosol can and having difficulty breathing. The subject had four empty bottles of aerosol dusting spray that had been recently used next to him. The subject was flailing his arms and had a difficult time trying to stand. The subject was placed under arrest and booked at the Martinez Detention Facility for possession of toluene with intent to inhale, public intoxication and two counts of misdemeanor probation violation.

Feeling OK? 4/22/15 Police were called to check on the welfare of a suspicious male subject at the town's main shopping area. He was experiencing both a mental and a medical issue. He was transported by the fire department to Kaiser in Walnut Creek for treatment.

Open container, 4/22/15 Upon making a traffic stop of a car on Sanders Drive near Canyon Road, police noticed the strong smell of marijuana coming from the inside of the car. Turns out, the driver was also in possession of an open container of an undisclosed alcoholic beverage. The passenger, who is a juvenile, was released from the scene to a parent. The driver was issued a written promise to appear and released from the scene with his vehicle.

Commercial burglary, 4/24/15 While a Country Club Drive business was closed, an unknown subject smashed the glass to a side door and gained entry. About $550 in cash and checks were stolen from two locations within the business. Sadly no readable fingerprints were located. Hopefully the business has insurance.

Bike mystery, 4/26/15 Cops had a report of a suspicious person on the Lafayette-Moraga Trail who was riding a bike while pushing a second bike, something you don't see every day. When officers located the suspect just north of Rheem Boulevard, the suspect, who had a criminal history, dropped one bike and fled on the other toward Lafayette. Police picked up the abandoned bike for safekeeping and checked the serial number; it hasn't been reported missing.
