Police recover multiple stolen vehicles in one night
Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police officers were busy the night of March 2.
The first incident began with reports of a stolen vehicle that had entered the town, according to police. The vehicle was stopped on Blossom Hill Road, and the driver was arrested.
A search of the vehicle found the driver to be in possession of drugs and burglary tools, police said. They were booked into jail and the vehicle was returned to its rightful owner.
A short time later, officers found another stolen vehicle, which was unoccupied and had been abandoned.
Soon after that, officers were dispatched to a possible hit-and-run collision. It was reported that after the two vehicles were involved in the crash, one driver left the scene while the other drove up the curb and into a tree.
Both drivers were eventually found and were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, police said. No injuries were reported.
At the end of the night, officers again pulled over a driver of another stolen vehicle. Both occupants were arrested for vehicle theft, as well as being in possession of stolen mail and drug paraphernalia.
