"Crime Trends Near Mesa Colleges: Property Offenses and Disturbances Under Investigation"
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Between April 26 and May 2, 2025, Mesa police responded to a range of criminal incidents citywide. On April 26, officers were dispatched to several locations for reported disturbances and property crimes. Specific addresses were withheld, but incidents included alleged burglary reports and vehicle thefts. Cases remain under investigation.
During this week, an alleged assault was reported in the vicinity of Mesa Community College, with administrative action taken. Disorderly conduct was also recorded at the same campus, resulting in an administrative outcome. On April 24, at 3:59 pm, shots were allegedly fired near Mesa Community College; police designated this incident as pending under case number 25010891 and are continuing the investigation. No suspect description has been released at this time, and no public assistance is currently being requested for these incidents.
Elsewhere in the city, officers investigated other theft-related offenses and responded to alarms, some of which were later deemed unfounded. Arrests were made in unrelated trespassing cases at other community college campuses in the region, though these did not directly involve Mesa.
No patterns of violent crime were noted this week, but there appears to be a consistent level of property and disturbance-related offenses, particularly near educational institutions.
Anyone with information regarding ongoing investigations is encouraged to contact Mesa Police Department non-emergency at 480-644-2211 or dial 911 in case of emergency. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
