Escondido Police Update

Last week, the Escondido Police Department hosted a barbecue fundraiser to benefit the Shop with a Cop program. Bimbo’s Bakery was out cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, and our cadets and professional staff were on hand to help. This year’s host, National City Police Department, collected all the proceeds and they were able to raise over $2000. This will help the over 300 officers from over 30 different agencies who will partner with a deserving child for a fun filled day of private animal shows at Sea World and a $200 Target shopping spree in December.
Beer Thieves Caught
Back in August, a group of four subjects stole beer from a local grocery store. One of them threatened to pepper spray an employee when they tried to intervene. The investigating officer took photographs of the suspects from video surveillance. Last week that officer and another officer saw a group carrying beer and thought they looked like the same suspects from the previous robbery. The three were detained and then confirmed to be the same suspects from the photographs
