Mesa Crimes: Burglary, Weapon Brandishing, Catalytic Converter Thefts, and More Reported
Published 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Mesa Police responded to multiple incidents in the past week that listeners should be aware of. Early in the week, patrol units were called to an area near Dobson Road and Southern Avenue regarding an alleged burglary in progress. Officers arrived to find a broken window at a retail business; the entry point appeared to be a side door. After a brief area search, no suspects were located and the case remains under investigation.
Later that day near Stapley Drive and Main Street, reports of a disturbance at a convenience store escalated when an individual allegedly brandished a weapon during a dispute. Officers secured the area and detained two adults on scene; charges are pending review with the county attorney. No injuries were reported.
On Wednesday afternoon, a theft was reported at a vehicle repair lot in the vicinity of Power Road and Broadway Road. Employees stated several catalytic converters had been removed from company vehicles overnight. Police collected surveillance footage and are seeking leads; no arrests have been announced.
Thursday evening, officers were called to a residence near Val Vista Drive and University Drive following reports of shots fired. Witnesses described a dark-colored sedan leaving the vicinity shortly after several loud bangs. No victims or property damage were found at the scene. Investigators are asking for public assistance in identifying suspects and encourage tips for Mesa case 25-143781.
A separate fraud investigation was initiated Friday near Country Club Drive and Brown Road when a bank employee reported a customer attempting to cash what staff identified as a forged check. The individual left before police arrived, and detectives are following up with bank surveillance images.
Saturday morning near Alma School Road and 8th Avenue, police responded to a reported assault between two known parties outside an apartment complex. Emergency medical staff treated one person for minor injuries; the other individual was taken into custody on alleged aggravated assault charges. This case has been submitted to the prosecutor’s office for review.
Detectives were dispatched late Saturday near Signal Butte Road and Southern Avenue after a business reported a break-in with several valuable items missing. Entry appeared to have been gained through a rear door, and nearby businesses are sharing surveillance footage for review. Anyone with information is asked to contact Mesa Police referencing case 25-144009.
Mesa Police want listeners to be aware of two main trends noted this week: a rise in catalytic converter thefts targeting both businesses and individual car owners overnight, and an uptick in incidents in the southern corridor involving late-night property crimes. Anyone with information about any open investigations is encouraged to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or Mesa Police non-emergency at 480-644-2211.
