Update: Another vehicle was forcibly entered last night. Chico PD was unable to respond due to a dept. policy regarding minimal property loss, however at least it got reported and this helps with the statistical analysis. In this latest case the vehicle was locked and once again the glove box and console were left open, and the contents were scattered. Fortunately the victims had been warned just the day before by a Crime Alert flier put out by us and no valuables were left in the vehicle.
Anyone with information on these crimes should contact the Chico PD and I would strongly suggest you also advise us, as I am running an independant crime analysis. Our contact number is 345-0757.
UPDATE: 1/31/2011 5 p.m. A second and third vehicle have been hit off Juniper at Victoria Way. One vehicle was locked with an alarm. They rifled the console and the glove box, then they went into the trunk and found a .22 rifle which they stole.
NOTE: If you become a victim of an unlawful vehicle entry in this particular hot area, it may be possible to have a retired police detective print your vehicle for free, regardless of the property loss, however you would have to contact us and we’ll try to set it up.
