Not so missing student, 10/6/15 Moraga police contacted Saint Mary's public safety staff who wanted help locating a student who had not been seen for several hours. Moraga cops were able to locate the student after a short investigation - he had spent the evening with family members.
Needs help 10/07/15 Moraga cops were asked to conduct a welfare check on a family member who is living on Corte Pinto. Police contacted the homeowner who was unable to walk to the front door. The fire department responded and assisted officers in entering the home. Paramedics transported him to a local hospital for further treatment.
Driving erratically with stolen stuff 10/8/15 A blue Mazda was being driven fitfully on Moraga Way, then proceeded onto Camino Ricardo. The 27-year-old driver fled before the car came to a stop and made a run for it into the pear orchard. Cops determined the car hit a parked Ford pickup during the chase. Found in the vehicle was approximately $2,400 worth of suspected stolen merchandise from Safeway. Genius driver/alleged thief was arrested for possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, hit and run and reckless driving. Goodies were returned to Safeway and the car was towed.
Loud party 10/10/15 This time it wasn't a college-centric celebration. Instead, about 50 guests gathered, along with a very loud DJ playing music at a home on Hazelwood Place for the homeowner's 70-year-old father's birthday. The resident was issued a written warning and advised to quiet down.
