In an action-packed weekend, the Milpitas Police Department rounded up several individuals with outstanding warrants and fresh charges, as detailed in a recent post on the department's official Facebook page. Officers patrolling the streets of Milpitas and nearby areas managed to apprehend suspects involved in a variety of infractions, from burglary to DUI. The first incident happened early Friday, January 12, when a midnight officer discovered a 55-year-old local male with felony warrants during a routine check.
Then, on January 13, a vigilant local spotted and reported a young suspect attempting to break into a vehicle. Even though the 15-year-old male from San Jose fled the scene, officers caught up with him and tossed him into Juvenile Hall for attempted auto theft.
Continuing the sweep, a midnight shift officer, during their patrol near the 1000-Block of Hillview Ct. on Sunday, stumbled upon a 36-year-old San Jose male with warrants totaling $430,000. The suspect's crimes ranged from possession of a stolen vehicle to drug violations. According to the Milpitas Police Department's Facebook page, he was promptly arrested and jailed.
Not missing a beat, the very same day, another officer flagged down a driver near Montague Expy/Centre Pointe Dr. for a traffic violation, only to discover the 23-year-old female from Fremont was driving under the influence. Getting caught red-handed, she found herself booked for DUI.
The series of events continued into the early hours of Monday when another suspect, a 41-year-old Milpitas female with an array of felony warrants under her belt, was caught during a routine patrol. Her offenses included possessing a stolen vehicle and identity theft, landing her a spot in the Santa Clara County Jail.
The Milpitas Police Department wrapped up their account with a call to the community, urging locals to be the eyes and ears on the ground by reporting all crimes, suspicious activities, or characters by dialing 9-1-1 in emergencies or reaching them at 408-586-2400 for less urgent matters.
