Moraga Police Blotter

Fraud 9/25/15 A Larch Avenue resident got a phone call from an alleged collection agency stating that the homeowner was past due on a $1,000 loan. The reporting person determined that there was no actual loan, and reported the matter to the police.

Car vs. bike accident 9/25/15 At the intersection of St. Mary's Road and Rheem Boulevard police located a bicyclist who had minor visible injuries laying in the roadway. The biker was later transported to a local hospital by the MOFD. The driver was not injured, but her car sure was - it was towed from the scene per her request. The incident is under investigation.

Traffic stop turns into epic police chase 9/25/15 A 1994 burgundy Chevy Suburban failed to stop at a red light and drove on the wrong side of the road. As cops approached, the vehicle fled and a pursuit ensued through Moraga and Lafayette - ultimately ending when the car crashed just off of Highway 24 near Oak Hill Road. The driver fled, but was caught about 200 yards away by a motorcycle officer. The 25-year-old driver from Martinez was arrested for driving a stolen vehicle, being a convicted felon in possession of a loaded (and stolen) firearm, felony evading police and felony probation violation.

Very loud party 9/26/15 A neighbor called police to report about 80 unwanted college-age guests at a party on Ascot Drive. Shocker - alcoholic beverages were present. Police, in their lingo "disbursed" the party people without incident. Officers explained the town ordinance to the apartment residents and cautioned them that further reports of loud or unruly parties may result in fines. No one went to jail.

Another party 9/27/15 Just hours after the original party on Ascot was kyboshed, at 3 a.m. the party was rekindled, same location, obviously at least some of the guests returned. Police observed about nine college-age students who were clearly intoxicated, and noted booze in the apartment, and could smell pot. This time cops determined they were in violation of the Town's ordinance regarding loud and unruly parties - so the tenants were issued an official warning notice.

Laser beam cockpit intrusion 9/28/15 The Federal Aviation Administration reported that a commercial flight leaving the Oakland airport experienced a laser beam in the cockpit at approximately 7,000 feet, while flying over Saint Mary's College. Police discovered the origin of the laser beam was a college professor with a laser pointer who was teaching students about the lunar eclipse that was occurring at the same time. The professor was unaware of the plane. No further action was taken.
