OAKLAND
AUG. 8
TOOLS TAKEN
200 block of Mather Smith Drive. Burglary. At 7:12 p.m., an officer a victim who had noticed his blower and trimmer were missing from his garage, despite placing them there the previous afternoon. He said a Bright House contractor had been working in an upstairs room, walking back and forth from the work vehicle, while he and his wife were home. At about 4:30 p.m., the contractor returned and said he needed to retrieve tools but emerged with just small pieces of metal. He appeared nervous, rushed and breathed heavily, the owner said. Officers confirmed the items as found. The owner identified them Aug. 11 on FaceTime, by the leak in the blower and the lack of auto function on the trimmer. The owner noted his expensive tools, SUV, firearm and electronics were untouched.
CRYSTAL CLEAR
500 block of East Oakland Avenue. Drug possession. An officer stopped a man driving a dirt bike at 5:26 p.m. The driver said he was going from Montverde to get oil for the bike. A check on the driver showed an Orange County warrant for grand theft; three dates of license suspended since Feb. 6, 2012; four convictions of driving while license suspended from 2001 to 2011; and license expired as of March 2. The officer arrested him on felony traffic charges of driving while license suspended with three prior convictions. The officer asked whether the suspect had any sharp objects; he said he had a diabetic needle in his pocket. A clear liquid in the needle tested positive as methamphetamine. Further searching led to crystals testing positive for methamphetamine. The driver said the bike belonged to a friend.
