Published 7 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Mesa Police responded last Monday to a reported alleged armed robbery near the intersection of University Drive and Dobson Road. Officers state that two suspects approached a man walking in the evening and demanded his wallet while displaying a handgun. The suspects fled the area before police arrived. The case remains under investigation, and authorities have asked for the public’s help identifying two males, one described as wearing a black hoodie and jeans, the other in a red shirt and dark pants.
Tuesday evening, a structure fire broke out at a self-storage facility near Country Club Drive and Southern Avenue. According to a report from Acast’s local Mesa news, fire crews contained the blaze after several hours, but multiple units sustained heavy damage, and a cause has not yet been determined. No injuries were reported. The Mesa Fire and Police Departments are jointly investigating the origins of the fire.
Overnight Wednesday into Thursday, patrol officers were dispatched to Alma School Road and Broadway Road after residents reported gunshots in the area. Upon arrival, officers discovered evidence of multiple shots fired but found no victims at the scene. Shell casings were recovered, and the case is open, with detectives canvassing for additional witnesses and video.
Friday afternoon, law enforcement was called to the Fiesta District to investigate a reported alleged burglary at a commercial building. The initial statement from store management indicated entry was gained by forced door. Police confirm no arrests have been made and the incident is actively under review.
Saturday morning, an alleged theft from vehicle was reported in the Dana Park area. Victims told officers personal electronics and other items were taken from an unlocked car parked in a shopping center lot overnight. Police remind listeners to secure all valuables and lock car doors. The incident remains under investigation.
Mesa officers responded Sunday to a suspected DUI incident near Power Road and Brown Road, where a vehicle collided with a traffic signal just before dawn. Responding officers detained the alleged impaired driver at the scene. No significant injuries were reported, and police confirm that charges are anticipated pending toxicology.
Across this week, public safety officials note a continued trend of vehicle burglaries in retail parking lots, especially in the evenings. Residents are urged to remove valuables from vehicles and report suspicious activity. Additionally, with the start of the school year, parents and youth are reminded about curfew laws and the importance of personal safety in public spaces.
Anyone with information relevant to current cases is encouraged to contact the Mesa Police Department’s non-emergency line or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
