Mail Getting Stolen In Beach Tract

Posted on by

Mail piles up when no one checks the box every day. Sing of the times when so many homes are weekend occupied or short term rentals.

The warning came after postal authorities recovered mail that apparently was stolen from the 900 to 1200 blocks of Shell, Surf, Egan, Crest, Ripple and Balboa avenues between February and this month.

Postal officials returned the recovered mail and informed police this week, said police Cmdr. John P. Miller.

Police advised the public to not leave mail in an unsecured mail box for long periods of time and, if taking an extended trip to have the postal service temporarily suspend delivery.

Miller said it wasn’t clear what kinds of mail were stolen. “We don’t know if it was if it was bills or just junk mail,” he said.

Car Week Thieves Take Corvette In P.G.

Posted on by

The police commander says it’s a rare thing to happen. Don’t forget all the motorcycles stolen during Moto GP week.

Meanwhile, the P.G. cops let the car thieves go on own recognizance.

Pacific Grove police said Wednesday that an El Dorado County resident reported his 1962 red Corvette vanished after he parked it late Saturday at a bed and breakfast.

The theft apparently occurred between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m., police Cmdr. John Miller said.

The owner said he parked at the lodging in the 300 block of Central Avenue and discovered the car missing an hour later when a friend came by.

The car owner said whoever took it must not have started the engine because he said “he would have heard if it was fired up,” Miller said.

Seen this car? Call the owner below. Don’t let the image of Pacific Grove get tarnished by indifferent cops.

Wow, bringing in police from everywhere in a show of power. What better reason to stay away from town and shop in Sand City!

A coalition of officers from Salinas, Seaside and Marina issued nearly 20 traffic citations and warnings on Wednesday in Pacific Grove as part of a joint motorist safety operation, according to a release from the Pacific Grove Police Department.

The majority of the tickets issued as part of the four-hour Monterey Regional Strategic Traffic Operations Prevention Program were for distracted driving/cell phone and seatbelt violations. Six motorcycle officers conducted the operation.

The report shows gang violence is concentrated in three hot spots in the county; in order they are Salinas, then south county cities, and then the city of Seaside.

Forest Avenue 76 Station Customers’ Credit Card Information Hacked

Posted on by

Again!

On Feb. 21, a person reported to the PGPD the theft and unlawful use of their credit card information.

The investigation led police back to the 76 Station where its management cooperated and all gas pumps were inspected for a skimming device but none found, police said.

The skimmer is a device that is attached to a point of sale machine and collects encoded information from credit or debit cards.

Several versions of skimmers were found affixed to gas pumps at the same location on Dec. 7.

Skimmer devices are now being found INSIDE the pumps, plugged into the card readers. Some stations attach anti-tamper stickers to the door of the pumps – if the seal is broke, don’t stick anything in it..

Central Avenue Pharmacy Robbed Again

Central Drugs

According to the police the suspect walked into the pharmacy and handed the clerk a note demanding Oxycontin. The police say that the suspect then lifted up his shirt revealing a handgun.

The clerk handed over the Oxycontin and the suspect fled the scene.

Next time, slip them sleeping pills. Or laxatives.

Last robbery was in June. That robber got caught when the P.G.P.D. got lucky. They must have been too busy investigating noisy wind chimes today..

Thefts In P.G. Rising As Gangs Go To ‘Work’

Posted on by

Are we really getting the best for our money paid to the P.G.P.D?

Remember that police commander John Nyunt dismissing fears of gangs living in P.G. saying they just wanted to get away from places like Salinas and Watsonville to have a safer place to live & work? Didn’t mention that ‘work’ to them means stealing people’s stuff.

Cmdr. John Nyunt said there have been 123 thefts and break-ins reported so far this year — about 30 since June.

Last year, from January to August, there were 76 reported thefts and burglaries, he said. Nyunt said officers are doing all they can to keep up, but the department’s staffing level is down.

But they have enough staff to ticket people for having a wind chime .
