Published 6 months ago
Description
Mesa Police investigated several alleged criminal incidents across various neighborhoods last week. Early Monday morning near Stapley Drive and Southern Avenue, officers responded to a theft complaint involving property missing from a local business. The matter is currently under investigation. On Tuesday afternoon, police investigated an alleged vehicle burglary at the intersection of Alma School Road and Broadway Road; no arrests have been announced and detectives are seeking information from the public. Later that evening in the Dobson Ranch area, patrol responded to reports of a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers separated the parties, issued a citation for disorderly conduct, and documented the incident.
On Wednesday near the Fiesta District, an alleged assault was reported outside a shopping plaza. The victim sustained minor injuries and declined medical assistance. Officers collected statements and are actively working to identify the suspect. In the late evening, officers initiated a traffic stop near McKellips Road and Center Street for erratic driving. During the stop, the driver displayed signs of intoxication and was arrested for suspected DUI; the investigation remains open pending laboratory results.
Thursday included a case of alleged trespassing at a business near the Superstition Springs area, where suspects reportedly entered restricted areas after hours. The individuals were contacted and trespassed from the property per management request; the incident has been documented with no further action at this time. Midday in the Lehi neighborhood, burglary patrols investigated a residential break-in. Responding officers found items missing but no forced entry. The investigation is ongoing and police request any nearby surveillance footage.
Friday evening, police responded to reports of vandalism near Signal Butte Road and Elliott Road. Several vehicles in a public lot suffered key scratch damage; no suspects have been identified and officers are canvassing for witnesses. Later Friday at Main Street and Mesa Drive, a suspect was taken into custody after being seen attempting to break into parked cars; the arrested individual faces charges of criminal trespass and possession of burglary tools.
On Saturday night in the Red Mountain district, patrol responded to a reported assault near a park entrance. Victims described a group of teenagers fleeing northbound after the incident. Mesa police are asking the public for tips and describe the group as mixed race, ages estimated between 15 and 17, last seen wearing hooded sweatshirts and carrying backpacks. Anyone with information is urged to contact Mesa PD.
Sunday saw an alleged domestic violence incident in the central Mesa corridor. Officers interviewed involved parties and, after investigation, one adult was taken into custody. Child Protective Services were notified due to the presence of minors in the residence.
Throughout the week, police also conducted multiple traffic enforcement patrols, with several citations for reckless driving and failure to obey stop signs near high-traffic intersections.
In summary, Mesa saw a slight uptick in property-related crimes, particularly thefts and vehicle-related vandalism. Cases involving minors and disturbances in public areas were also prominent. Listeners should be vigilant in securing vehicles and property, and are reminded that Mesa police seek public assistance on any crimes under active investigation.
