Editor’s Note: Although most of the crimes posted here are directly derived from the San Jose Police Department, because of the large volume of calls received, the SJPD reports to the media just a fraction of the actual crimes that occur. If you would like to ensure the Evergreen Times prints a crime to alert your neighbors to a possible trend, e-mail: bea@timesmediainc.com a very brief description of the crime, the date it occurred, the street name and block number, and a police report number so that we can verify the validity of the incident.
