A brief flash, 6/24/14 An unknown suspect allegedly burped upon entering a business on Rheem Boulevard. Staff person gave him a dirty look, then the subject pulled down the back of his shorts and shook his allegedly exposed buttocks at the staff person. The subject denied everything.

Somebody's watching, 6/17/14 Cops received a report of a possible shoplift at Safeway. Two subjects were observed entering the store separately, but leaving together - possibly with concealed merchandise. Store management is reviewing closed caption camera footage to see if they snitched anything.

Shattered slider, 6/14/14 A sliding glass door at an unoccupied home on Calle La Montana was shattered with a wooden patio table sometime during a four-day period. Cops confirmed that the house had a functioning security alarm system, but it wasn't activated. It looked like nothing had been taken. The son-in-law of the elderly homeowner, who now lives in Virginia, was contacted by phone and will be visiting in July. Thoughtful next door neighbor helped coordinate the repair of the door and secure the home.

D.U.I. 6/19/14 A disabled car was stopped in the bike lane on Moraga Road at St. Mary's Road. It was after midnight when police found the paused car, the driver smelled of alcohol. When the young man was unable to complete any of the field sobriety tests, he was placed under arrest for D.U.I. He was taken to the Moraga Police Department where he agreed to take a breathalyzer test, but the fellow was unable to successfully complete that. The 20-year-old was then taken to the Martinez Detention Facility where he agreed to a blood test.

Car stolen, later found, 6/18/14 A Camino Peral resident reported that her car was stolen, perhaps because she left the car keys in the door lock. Prior to the vehicle being entered in the missing car database, it was found and towed. She must pay to get her car back.

Bike stolen, 5/25/14 A custom made bicycle was left outside of a Saint Mary's College dormitory for approximately one week, when the owner discovered the bike was missing. No serial number on the bike and nothing seen or heard, therefore no suspects or leads.
