On Friday, February 22, 2019, at approximately 6:05 p.m. the parents of a 13-year old female juvenile reported that their daughter had been the victim of an attempted kidnapping. The victim was walking in the 500 blocks of Fallen Leaf Circle (a residential neighborhood) at approximately 5:30 p.m., when an Asia Indian male driving a white 4-door vehicle (possibly a Nissan Rogue or Versa) pulled up alongside the victim and told her, “Your dad asked me to pick you up and drop you off at your house.” The victim declined to get into the vehicle after the suspect opened the door for her (from the inside, still seated in the driver seat). The male then reached across the vehicle and attempted to grab hold of the victim by her clothing but was unsuccessful. The victim ran away and hid in some nearby bushes until she saw that the suspect had left the area. The victim immediately phoned her parents and was unharmed. Officers from the San Ramon Police searched the area extensively but were unable to locate the suspect or the suspect vehicle.
The suspect is described as an Asia Indian male between 35-50 years old. The victim said he has a dark complexion with a light blue circle around one of his eyeballs (between the white portion and the iris), shaggy hair and a mustache. The suspect was said to speak with an Asia Indian accent and had a lisp. He was wearing a grayish-blue shirt (with a white Nike logo on it) and a black hooded jacket. The victim also said the suspect was wearing a ring on his right hand with a design of two overlapping snakes.
The suspect vehicle is described by the victim as possibly a white Nissan 4-door hatchback (similar to a Rogue or Versa) with dark tinted back passenger windows and a yellow star (containing a smiley face) on the front windshield. A partial license plate was provided as 7HM….6.

A small plane crashed on the slopes of Mount Diablo on Friday, killing the pilot, who is believed to have been the only person on board, authorities say.
The downed single-engine Mooney M20 aircraft was discovered Saturday 2 miles southwest of the Contra Costa County peak, said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. The plane crashed and burned sometime Friday night.
The pilot, whose identity was not provided by authorities, was flying from Hayward to Lincoln (Placer County), Gregor said. A family member reported on Saturday that the aircraft hadn’t landed as scheduled.
California State Parks officials, who manage Mount Diablo as a park, confirmed that the pilot had died. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board were planning to investigate the incident. It typically takes a year or more to determine the cause of a crash, Gregor said.
Winter Weather Advisory: the National Weather Service forecast is calling for very low overnight temperatures in the East Bay and the possibility of snow down to 1200 feet or lower. We could see some snow on Mt Diablo.
In addition, temperatures overnight will get down to the freezing point. This could create very slick conditions for the morning commute. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians are encouraged to plan for some extra time and use some additional caution when out and about Tuesday morning

ADVISORY: Active Threat Training Thursday at Monte Vista On January 31, 2019, the Town of Danville will conduct Active Threat training at Monte Vista High School. The exercise involves the use of simulated firearms and explosive sounds.
No live ammunition will be used. The training will be limited to the areas within the campus and will not extend into the surrounding neighborhoods. The Active Threat Drill is scheduled to run from approximately 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
The training is designed to simulate a critical incident and provide response training for law enforcement and fire personnel, and allows the Danville Police Department to update and refine essential skills needed to provide the community with the highest level of service possible.
The exercise will involve a number of police officers and emergency services vehicles. The activities taking place on campus will be simulated for training purposes only and there will NOT be an actual event. The Danville Police Department requests that residents and visitors refrain from attempting to enter the east portion of the campus or communicate with the officers involved in the training. This drill will be limited to the high school campus.
No local roadways will be affected. However, parking on the center horseshoe and east parking lot of the Monte Vista High School campus will be off limits during the training event as we will need parking for ambulances, fire trucks, police vehicles and volunteer vehicles. There will be signs posted as a reminder the day prior. Those spots will need to be reserved for the training in order to make it run successfully.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may produce. For questions or concerns, email Officer Alcantara or Officer Murillo at Dalcantara@danville.ca.gov or Vvradenburg@danville.ca.gov
