May 8 Weapons
Police responded to Campolindo High for possible weapons and drug violations. They referred the case to juvenile probation (court).
May 3
Police were dispatched to Saint Mary's College to investigate a report of a hysterical student. Must be finals time. San Jose Police took the case, although it is unclear why.
May 4 Loud party
Officers found 20 people on Ascot Drive holding an alcohol party. The residents were warned, then cited for hosting.
May 5 Fraud
A resident nearly steered himself toward financial ruin when he mailed a $60,000 check for a new car to Las Vegas. The bank tried to stop payment, but no dice; the check was already cashed and you can bet the car never arrived.
May 5 Vehicle tampering
A resident's truck parked along Moraga Road had its side lock and ignition damaged. Repairs estimated at $300. No leads.
May 7 Warrant arrest
Officers served a $162,000 warrant on a woman wanted for ID theft and drug related charges. She showed her California drivers' license as ID. Whether or not her license was real, she was arrested and booked into Martinez jail.
May 8 Suspicious circumstances
Where's the fire? Apparently not at a closed business in Rheem Valley Center, although officers discovered an open exterior fire door. It was only 6:30 a.m., so police simply locked up and left.
May 9 Auto burglary
There's no silver lining for the person whose older silver Mercedes was burgled near Claeys South Hall dorm, unless it's a student driving a Mercedes Benz. Several items, and $80 in cash were removed.
May 10 Auto burglary
A car parked for one week at Saint Mary's College had a window smashed and property removed. The Sticky Fingers criminal left a couple prints; no suspects yet.
May 10 Vehicle larceny
Thou shalt not steal: No one has confessed yet to filching a debit card, laptop, clothes (the very shirt off his back?) and phone chargers from an unlocked red Ford Explorer parked at Saint Mary's College.
May 11 stolen vehicle
A locked car parked overnight on Camino Peral was stolen, causing someone more effort than the aforementioned Saint Mary's car theft.
May 11 ATM alarm
A Rheem Valley Shopping Center alarm went off around noon. These machines have alarms? It just doesn't make any cents...
May 11 Burglary
Several items stolen from a house in the 200 block of Scofield Drive. No suspects.
May 12 Larceny
A student reported her $1800 computer laptop stolen from a Saint Mary's College classroom. Thou shalt not steal, people.
Vandalism
May 11 Toyota's windshield smashed with rock near SMC dorm.
May 12 Gray Honda; exterior mirrors sprayed with pink glitter.
May 12 Jeep driver's side clear plastic window cut.
May 12 DUI
Police stopped a speeding Subaru driver doing 50-plus in a 35 zone near school kids. Field Sobriety Test showed high BAC; DUI sent to MPD. One blood test later he was released to a sober friend. Not sure I'd stay friends with that one...
May 12 Ordinance violation
High school students (200!) partying away. Alcohol aplenty. Police have their say. Juvenile attendees flee the scene; underage host left inbetween. The ticket he got says such partys are unruly, but he's been warned and then governed duly.
May 13 Arson
A garbage container fire set an adjacent maintenance building on fire and sparked the interest of SMC public safety personnel. It's not a cold case just yet, as police are still ash-ing questions.
