Description
Mesa Police are looking for public assistance regarding a missing juvenile. Naomi Downs, age 17, was last seen near the intersection of Power Road and Brown Road on the night of October 4. According to YourValley.net, Downs was wearing black jeans and a red sweater. Anyone with information is urged to contact Mesa PD. The case remains under investigation and police actively seek tips from the public.
Elsewhere in central Mesa, on the night of September 30, officers responded to reports of an alleged armed robbery near Broadway Road and Mesa Drive. Witnesses said a male suspect displayed a firearm while demanding cash from a convenience store clerk before fleeing on foot. The clerk was unharmed. Detectives are reviewing security footage and the incident is under investigation.
On the morning of October 2, patrol officers conducted a traffic stop near Southern Avenue and Alma School Road which resulted in the arrest of a 29-year-old male suspect for alleged possession of dangerous drugs for sale. Police seized a quantity of suspected methamphetamine. The suspect was booked into jail and the case has been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Mesa Police responded to an aggravated assault call on October 5 near the Fiesta District. A verbal altercation escalated, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries to one person. Paramedics transported the victim to the hospital. Officers took a male suspect into custody at the scene. The incident is under review.
In northeast Mesa on October 6, officers were dispatched to a residential complex near McKellips Road and Lindsay Road after reports of multiple vehicles being burglarized overnight. Several items were reported stolen, including electronics and personal belongings. Investigators canvassed the area for surveillance footage. No arrests have been made and the investigation remains active.
On October 3, a routine patrol in east Mesa near Ellsworth and University led officers to discover a stolen vehicle parked outside an apartment complex. The vehicle was returned to its owner and detectives are following up on leads to identify a possible suspect.
Mesa Police assisted multi-agency efforts after a shooting incident near Country Club Drive and Brown Road earlier this spring. According to ABC15, a mistaken identity led to the temporary detention of an uninvolved person at Sky Harbor Airport. Police quickly confirmed the error and later arrested a suspect believed to be connected to the shooting.
Listeners should be aware of any significant increases in vehicle burglaries in the northeast part of Mesa and continued reports of drug-related offenses in central districts. Police continue to search for missing juvenile Naomi Downs and ask the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings or relevant information.
