So someone smashed our Kia Soul window and tried to steal it over the weekend. It was parked on Fallbrook Street by Sunburst Court. If anyone saw or heard anything, please let me know. Or if anyone has a camera that points towards Fallbrook and Sunburst, please let me know. At least they were not able to steal it.

Hello again! I hope you're enjoying the amazing weather as much as I am! This week, I'd like to shine a spotlight on the commendable efforts of our Central Business District (CBD) Bike team. You might have noticed them riding around, especially now with the sunny weather, diligently patrolling the downtown area. Their dedication to maintaining community safety is truly commendable, as they proactively identify criminal activities and take decisive action. Throughout the month of April, their vigilant work led to numerous arrests related to theft and assaults. One noteworthy instance involved a strategic "retail blitz," where they conducted surveillance on a commercial establishment, resulting in the successful apprehension of a shoplifter in the act. During routine patrols, they swiftly responded to reports, such as when they were alerted to an individual vandalizing a restaurant by throwing a brick through its window. Despite facing a violent resistance during the arrest, the officers managed to safely detain the suspect, ensuring the safety of the community. In another incident, the CBD officers promptly responded to an assault and theft call, arriving just in time, and preventing the suspect from fleeing. Their quick actions not only led to the suspect's apprehension but also revealed his involvement in numerous other thefts in the area. As incidents of shoplifting continue to rise in our area, we are immensely grateful to have such a dedicated and proactive unit of officers safeguarding our community. In other news, a couple of nights ago, officers responded to the report of a carjacking that had just occurred. The victim reported that the suspects were armed with a gun and that, in addition to her vehicle, her cellphone was taken. Acting promptly, officers immediately initiated a search and soon located individuals matching the suspects' description. Despite the suspects’ attempt to flee, they were quickly apprehended and found in possession of the victim’s keys and cellphone. Notably, officers also seized a replica gun from the apprehended juveniles. All involved parties were successfully taken into custody. A commendable display of efficiency and vigilance by our law enforcement team!

Happy Friday, neighbors! It's been a busy time lately, and I'm looking forward to the weekend. Here's a glimpse into what's been happening: Crime enforcement: Early this morning, officers from the 3rd and 4th districts teamed up with ATF to execute a residential search warrant near Lockwood Drive. This operation was the culmination of a months-long investigation initiated by 3rd District officers, sparked by intel about a heavily armed CDS distributor in the area. After extensive surveillance, which included a night where the suspect discharged multiple rounds from a rifle, officers seized hundreds of capsules of crack/cocaine, an assault rifle, and other incriminating evidence. The suspect is now, under arrest, facing multiple felony charges. We are proud of these officers and commend them for their bravery in removing a dangerous felon from our community and potentially saving countless lives. Youth Empowerment through Sports: Our recent 5-week Futsal tournament, organized in collaboration with Caty Angel, the director of the Long Branch Community Center, was a tremendous success. Initially planned for 4 weeks, its popularity led to a one-week extension. What started with a modest turnout grew to nearly 40 enthusiastic teens, some even suggesting we make it a weekly affair. This event fostered strong community bonds, and we're excited to plan more such initiatives to empower our youth. Drug Take Back Day Reminder: Tomorrow, April 27th, is Drug Take Back Day. I'll be at the 3rd District collecting your unwanted prescription pills. Please note that we can only accept pills, NOT syringes, liquids, or ointments. Remember, our station has a collection box in the lobby available year-round, 24/7, for your convenience. Wishing you all a restful and rejuvenating weekend ahead!
