The Newark Police Department has detailed a series of local incidents in a recent crime blotter, corresponding to the period between October 30 to November 5. The report strives to provide a balanced recounting, noting both the nature of the crimes and the officers managing the cases, while upholding a chronologically accurate narrative, per the Newark Police Department's report.
In the blotter's first remarks, we find Officer Jackman involved in a battery investigation at Jarvis Avenue’s business. Soon after, officers proceeded to arrest a female for trespassing on Cedar Court and a 51-year-old male failed to observe a restraining order, trespassing himself. Moreover, on Halloween, Officer Losier found himself looking into a car theft reported on Mulberry Street. Officer C. Torres too had a case on his hands, investigating a hit-and-run incident on Stevenson Boulevard with the suspect thought to be in a black sedan.
Turning the calendar to November, the blotter directed attention to a foiled commercial burglary in the 34000 block of Newark Boulevard on the 1st. Despite a shattered glass front door, an inner security bar thwarted the would-be burglar before penetrating the premises. On November 2, officers witnessed another distinctive incident, this one featured a 28-year-old Hayward male attempting to get away with a package from a residence on Snapdragon Place. The swift perpetrator made an escape across the I-880 freeway, necessitating the involvement of local law enforcement agencies to capture him under charges of petty theft and resisting arrest.
Chronicles of auto burglary, vandalism, theft, residential burglaries, and various other crimes riddled the remaining days of this period. A number of subjects were admitted into Santa Rita Jail on an array of accusations including public intoxication, failing to obey a restraining order, driving under the influence, and theft. Consequently, the report accentuates the efforts put forth by the Newark PD to curb criminal activities within their remit.
