Lafayette Neighbors Interrupt Morning Burglary

Officers were called to a home on Sierra Vista Way Tuesday after burglars breach the residence.

Updated 7:30 a.m., Wednesday

Lafayette police report that alert neighbors interrupted a residential break-in on Sierra Vista Way near the Lafayette BART station at approximately 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Investigators said three suspects, described by neighbors as Hispanic males, fled in a waiting, light blue Buick 4-door with a license plate number of 5WZT563. This vehicle matches the description of a car believed to have been used during other recent burglaries in Lafayette.

Police Chief Eric Christensen praised the actions of neighbors, who verbally accosted the burglars as they were leaving one home with property and who quickly contacted police.

If you see this car, please call the Lafayette Police Department at 925-284-5010.

On several occasions, I have seen 5-6 chickens pecking their way down their steep driveway on theRead More east side of Saint Mary's Road, very close to the Cattle Chute. I had not read this story earlier. On 6/3 or 6/4, I saw a black hen, alone, out in the road right at the point of the Moraga Commons. It was pecking the pavement on Moraga Road, as cars turning north from Saint Mary's Road were avoiding it. I hope the chicken crossed the road to the trail on the other side. Better yet, I hope it turned around and followed that trail right back to the Cattle Chute and home.
