Here is some updated information covering three neighboring counties – San Joaquin, Stanislaus & Tuolumne. The San Joaquin information is the Net Alert attachment and a bit dated but is a good example of their farmers and ranchers reporting all incidents.

Please feel free to pass it on.

First, a success story from Barmont Neighborhood Watch!

ü The Sheriff's Department was dispatched to a residential burglary on Downey just south of Whitmore Road. The suspects were described as two White Male Juveniles wearing cut off shorts, and T-shirts. Two persons matching that description had been seen parking a red Ford Probe on the canal at Whitmore Road approximately ten minutes before the call was dispatched. After hearing the call, a BNW member stood by with the car. Prior to deputies going on-scene, neighbors placed the two suspects under citizen’s arrest for burglary. The BNW advised deputies of the location of the suspect’s car. The car was searched, and stored. The suspects were booked into Juvenile Hall for Burglary (459 P.C.).

Now for the active cases …
