Throughout the week, patrol units and detectives did not report any homicide investigations, and there were no major in-custody incidents. Mesa PD continues proactive patrols in neighborhoods reporting increased property crime and retail theft.
Significant trends this week include a rise in reported catalytic converter thefts and continued commercial burglaries in west Mesa districts. Listeners should remain alert and secure valuables.
