Unauthorized industrial fireworks 7/04/15 Police responded to a call about industrial fireworks on Augusta Drive at Greenbrier. Moraga-Orinda Fire District responded, dousing the large box holding 16 unexploded skyrockets with water, rendering them inert. Knucklehead firework owner, who apparently missed multiple fire danger warnings, has not come forward.
Possession of fireworks 7/04/15 Although there was a report of a pipe bomb, officers checked the area and only found remote devices to set off explosives. They also found several juveniles on the golf course who were in possession of fireworks, which were later disposed by the fire department. One of the three youngsters had consumed an alcoholic beverage. The three amigos agreed to enter the Juvenile Diversion Program, and were picked up by responsible adults.
Car left in road 6/30/15 An abandoned white Chevy Suburban was creating a traffic hazard on Moraga Road near Campolindo Drive. Cops had the very large vehicle towed and entered the car into their computer system. They also left a notice that the car was now stored at the registered owner's residence. No word if the beast was out of gas or had mechanical trouble.
Pool house squatters 7/03/15 Someone reported that two people were found living in the pool house on Woodminster Drive, and caused unspecified damage to the property. Cops came, the couple fled, but police later caught up with them and they admitted to being in the pool house, but denied causing any damage. Presumably if they had a better housing option, they would have taken it.
Car disappearance, exact date unknown. A Mercedes was reported missing by the owners of a home on Donald Drive that had been inherited. They simply wished to document the incident. Some time later, the car was involved in an accident in Concord and towed from the scene by police. Chief Priebe reports that the car has not been reported stolen.
