The following is from the Pleasant Hill Police Department:
Holiday Theft Suppression begins! As we’ve entered the holiday shopping season, we continued our special theft suppression enforcement efforts with local retailers throughout the city. Officers worked together with loss prevention to arrest 16 people in two evening operations occurring within the last week. Those who qualified under new laws have had formal charges filed by the District Attorneys Office related to these operations. All other cases will be sent to the district attorney for review. Two juvenile arrests (residents of Berkeley) were not included below.
Johan Omar-Matchusa 25 – Concord
Jade Hill 20 – Vallejo
Juis Lara 37 -Brentwood
Alexis Pellette 34 –Concord
Clara Sanchez 35 –Concord
Margarita Bravo 38 –Concord
Maria Rogel 35 –Concord
Devoreah Allen 27 – San Pablo
Rosalinda Leach 37 – Concord
Jose Navarro 46 – Concord
Daniel Garcia-Vasquez 28 – Pleasant Hill
Stacie Gaskins 47 – Richmond
Kendra Timmons 57 – San Pablo
Christina Mendivil 47 – Pittsburg
These holiday theft suppression operations will continue throughout the holiday season. Would be grinches beware, we will be on high alert to protect our retail partners and community members.
I’d like to see more meaningful, subsequently more effective, consequences for these thieves, like introduction at high velocity of a phone book to the chest of a violator, or maybe a wood shampoo. How about that Singapore specialty involving a rather thin reed swiped across the backside? Probably more of a deterrent than metal bracelets followed by a pat on the back from our DA wishing them luck.
An the DA will do nothing . . . . . . .
I like ICE in my drinks
The demographic sucks here but paints a picture
Keep your criminals in Concord, Concord!
