Weather related crime alert; with the current nice weather and increased temperature, some people are leaving their windows open in an effort to keep their residences cooler inside. Be extra careful, especially when you leave your home and leave the windows unsecured. Burglars are always looking for the easiest way inside your home. Don’t give them that opportunity for the easy access. Make sure to secure these entry points and leave them locked when you are not around.


Public Safety; In light of recent events at the Boston marathon, the police department will be increasing patrols in areas where the public gather including special events. If you see a suspicious package that does not look right or does not belong in the area, do not investigate it yourself. Create a safe distance between you and the suspicious package and do not use your cell phone to call the police. Use a landline to call “911” and provide your location and if possible the description of the package. Officers will be dispatched to assess the situation and take the appropriate action.


Arrests:

12:14am     Blythdale/Santos                     Stolen Vehicle
Officers Seavey and Padilla were on patrol in the area of Blythdale and Santos, when they noticed a White Honda double parked on the roadway. Officer Seavey ran the license plate, which came back with no information. They slowly passed the vehicle and saw that the female driver was the only person inside. They also noticed that the vehicle had no front license plate, which is a vehicle violation. The crime fighting duo decided to turn around and speak with the driver, but she had already spotted them and decided to legally park the vehicle. The officers contacted the driver, who told them her driver’s license was suspended. With the license plate coming back with no information, Officer Padilla ran the vehicle’s VIN number as well. Moments later, dispatch advised the officers that the vehicle was in fact stolen. The female suspect was immediately placed under arrest. The officers inspected the license plate and saw that one of the numbers and one of the letters had been altered, that’s why it was coming back with no information on file. They also noticed that the female suspect had used a shaved key to start the vehicle, a common practice used by suspects to boost and/or steal cars. She was transported to Ingleside Station where she was booked on various charges including being in a stolen vehicle and burglary tools. The vehicle was then returned to its owner.
