On Saturday, January 07, 2017 at 3:55 a.m. Pleasanton Police Department receive a call from an alert resident in the area of Hamilton Way and Arlington Drive reporting a dark colored sedan driving slowly through the neighborhood without headlights on. On arrival officers determined several unlocked vehicles throughout the neighborhood were entered and rummaged through.
At approximately 4:23 a.m. officers observed a vehicle in the area of Lansing Ct that had its interior light on. Daniel Vasquez 10-31-91 and a 16-year-old male juvenile, both out of Palo Alto, were located inside of the vehicle. Vasquez was in possession of suspected methamphetamine and initially gave a false name to officers. The owner of the vehicle where the subjects were located signed a citizen’s arrest for prowling. Vasquez was booked at SRJ and the juvenile was later released to his guardian with a juvenile notice to appear.
At approximately 6:28 a.m., in the same area as the above incident, officers located a suspicious vehicle occupied by two subjects parked on Amber Lane. The vehicle, 2005 Nissan Altima (7VIZ284), fit the description from the initial reporting party. As officers approached the vehicle it fled from the area and collided into a patrol vehicle. Officers pursued the vehicle onto I-680 northbound. The vehicle exited I-680 at Bernal Avenue and entered I-680 traveling southbound. The pursuit was terminated at I-680 and Sunol Blvd due to high speeds and weather conditions. No officers were injured as a result of the collision. The Nissan was last seen driving with its headlights off on southbound I-680. Upon further investigation, officers learned the registered owner of the Nissan had earlier loaned the Nissan to a relative who lives within the same complex in Palo Alto as Vasquez. The investigation is on-going.
Anyone who may have witnessed these incidents, or who may have additional information to provide on possible associated crimes, is asked to call the Pleasanton Police Department at 925-931-5100.
