Church Burglary: On November 6, officers investigated a burglary at Northgate Community Church, 650 Northgate Dr. Approximately $10,000 worth of musical instruments were taken during this burglary. Earlier this week, Detectives received information as to the location of some of the stolen property. Detectives, along with members of the Street Crimes Unit, followed up on this lead and were able to identify the burglary suspect, Carl Shouland. They also located most of the stolen property at several residences in Manteca, Modesto and Livermore. Shouland was located and arrested. During a subsequent lengthy interview, Shouland admitted to burglarizing the church and taking the property to a location in the 200 block of Marty Drive. The property was sold to various people from that location. Carl was arrested on a parole violation and burglary. Detectives also arrested another subject, Justin Tellez, on an unrelated charge during one of the searches. Northgate Community Church Associate Pastor David Thompson responded to the Police Department and identified all of the property.
Fire
Food Drive a Success: The Firefighters’ 2nd Annual “Fill the Fire Engine” Food Drive, which was held November 14 at the Safeway Store on North Main Street, was a huge success, resulting in more than 5,000 pounds of food being collected for local families. In addition, there were monetary donations from the community totaling $170, with Firefighters adding another $1,000 to that amount, which was presented to Second Harvest Food Bank.
Emergency Incidents: We had a total of 91 incidents this week, which included six that were fire related: 3-Structure Fires, 1-Vehicle Fire, 1-Dumpster Fire, and 1-Rubbish Fire. Dollar loss for the week was estimated at $28,000 The remaining calls this week were: EMS-50, Vehicle Accidents-4, Service Calls-6, and Other Emergencies-25.
Fire Prevention: This week’s Fire Prevention Activities included: Business Inspections-36, New Construction Inspections-6, Plan Checks-7, and Fire System Checks-2.
Fire Demos and Presentations: Engine Company 242 hosted a Cub Scout tour of Station No. 2 on November 16. Firefighters gave the Scouts demonstrations on the different fire equipment and fire safety.
Public Works
Powers Tract Alley: Streets Maintenance crews spread recycled asphalt grindings from ongoing paving projects in the alley along Cowell Street. This alley was too narrow to pave when the rest of the alleys in Powers Tract were paved recently. The grindings provide a low-cost, durable, all-weather surface for the alley. As time allows, crews will be back on site raising meter boxes, valves and manholes to meet the new grades.
Sidewalk Improvements: Streets Maintenance crews have recently responded to several potential sidewalk trip hazards. Residents are encouraged to notify the Streets Division of any areas where sidewalks are unsafe. Crews can often grind the raised edge of the sidewalk to solve the problem. If the sidewalk has to be replaced due to significant root intrusion, they will temporarily grind or ramp the area to make it safe until permanent repairs can be made.
Stimulus Money at Work: Paving of streets around the City will continue this week and into the next, as George Reed is continuing the overlay project funded with Federal ARRA money.
Thanksgiving Schedule: Residents are reminded that the Solid Waste Division will collect garbage as usual during Thanksgiving week, to include on Thanksgiving Day. The only holidays that we do not collect garbage are Christmas and New Year’s.
