Fremont Streets Closing

As my loyal readers have noticed, I have not posted much at all this month.  I have not found the time nor interest to continue this blog, as much as it is needed in the community.  For my 100-150 loyal readers, I wish there was a place to point you to for Fremont crime news, but I know of none.  FPD is talking about bringing back the Patrol Blotter.  That really is key in informing the community of crime.  It is sad that neighboring police departments provide much more info on a daily basis to their citizens.  If you have Twitter, I am somewhat active there as @ScannerFremont.  The FPD Dispatch live feed via Broadcastify will continue for now, but technology changes may force it off the air by October. 
I will leave the blog intact for a week or so so everyone will have a chance to see this final post.  Stay safe everyone!

Update on Police Activity in Niles Last Week

From FPD :

Over the last several weeks, numerous convenience stores have been burglarized throughout the Bay Area.  The suspects have been targeting businesses for lottery tickets and cigarettes.  On July 5th, the suspects burglarized the Arco gas station located in the 35000 block of Fremont Bl.  The suspects stole several thousand dollars worth of cigarettes and approximately $3500 worth of lottery tickets.

Video surveillance of the suspects were recovered by Detectives who then developed potential leads on their identities. 

On July 8th, Patrol and Street Crimes Unit Officers responded to the 37000 block of 3rd St. in the Niles District for a report of two subjects arguing.  Officers arrived on scene and detained several subjects at an unoccupied residence.  Officers also located a stolen vehicle at the residence while they were searching the residence. 

While searching the interior of the residence with a K9 unit, Officers discovered that a subject was possibly hiding in the attic.  Officers provided multiple warnings to the subject in the attic, however he refused to surrender.  Officers delivered several pepperball rounds into the attic near the suspect’s location.  This caused the suspect to immediately surrender.  Pepperball rounds are small projectiles filled with a chemical agent irritant.

40 year old Jacy Meier (transient of Fremont) and 32 year old Jazzmin Barboza (transient of Fremont) were arrested for multiple felony counts of burglary.  Evidence from the search was recovered linking the pair to crimes throughout the region.  They were both booked at Fremont Jail and released with a September court date due to the zero bail guidelines. 

Meier is currently on probation for drug sales of a controlled substance.  He has numerous previous arrests for drug sales, drug possession, possession of firearms, possession of stolen vehicles, and possession of stolen property. 

Barboza has numerous previous arrests for drug possession, burglary, and various other theft related crimes. 

Detectives are coordinating additional cases with multiple outside agencies involving Meier and Barboza.

Police Activity in Niles

Just before 1 o'clock this afternoon several officers conducted a probation search on a home near the 3rd Street Park in Niles, according to radio traffic.  Several people were detained and a number of items that may be stolen property, including stolen mail,  were located, according to radio conversations.  A short time later a number of vehicle VIN numbers were run off of Shinn Street by the homeless enforcement sergeant.  I don't know if this was related to the probation search or not, but at least one stolen vehicle was located, either on Shinn or in Niles.  There was a lot of activity between patrol officers and detectives.

San Bruno Police Make Fireworks Arrests

You know if FPD made a few fireworks related arrests they would be bragging about it.  Little San Bruno PD was able to catch and cite 35 people!!  For FPD, this was just not a priority and we citizens paid for it with loss of sleep, fire suppression costs, etc.
