    Monday:

    Grand Theft Auto - Senora Freeway
    Following an interdepartmental backup call between the Los Santos' Sherrif's Department and the Los Santos Police Department a stolen vehicle was identified through a BOLO notice during a sting operation between the two departments. The vehicle in mind was reported stolen 15 minutes prior to the vehicle being spotted by patrol units and a felony stop was shortly initiated. The driver, the suspect was initially complaint but bailed during the felony stop procedure which led patrol units on an erratic chase along the Senora Freeway. The vehicle was brought to a forceful stop following a coordinated response of patrol units successfully managing to intercept the vehicle. The vehicle sustained minor damages during the chase for which the owner was reimbursed by one of the officers, a nice gesture. No damages occurred to public property during the pursuit.

    Tuesday:

    Attempted Murder of a Government Employee - Red Desert Avenue
    Following a nuisance complaint on the Del Perro Pier, a responding unit was held up at gunpoint by one of the suspects. The suspect aimed a weapon at an officer and demanded them to give their vehicle up for the suspect to evade. The officer gave their cruiser to the suspect but managed to drop a backup beacon for assisting units to follow. The suspect had fled a block before being stopped by traffic units, when he bailed and ran on foot through an alleyway on Red Desert Avenue. The suspect was armed with a high caliber pistol and a blade which had the officers on high alert. One of the officers that bravely approached the individual and attempted to tackle them was stabbed 3 times in their lower abdomen region, incapacitating them before the suspect was shot down by officers present on the scene. The suspect has made a recovery and is looking at a hefty amount of time at Bolingbroke Penitentiary while facing several felony, misdemeanor and nuisance charges. The officer is alive and well and is cleared to continue working.


    Thursday:

    Traffic Checkpoint - San Andreas Avenue
    A traffic checkpoint was hosted on the San Andreas avenue stretch spanning from Legion Square to Vespucci Boulevard by the Vinewood Traffic Division. The main goal of traffic checkpoints is to crack down on DUI/DWI drivers, recovering stolen vehicles and removing unroadworthy vehicles out of traffic. The traffic operation for week 2104 was deemed a great success and has set an example for future checkpoints of this scale as the Vinewood Traffic Division standardizes these kinds of checkpoints to better their efficiency. Three arrests were made, one for reckless operation and two for drivers operating their vehicles without valid driver's licenses. Four vehicles were impounded, 1 for reckless operation, 2 for vehicle operation without a valid license and one for unroadworthiness.


    Friday:

    Officer at Gunpoint - Vespucci
    At around 0900, a distress signal was received from an officer in the Vespucci area. They were conducting a routine traffic stop, when an unknown party arrived on foot and began stealing evidence from the trunk of the police cruiser. The officer in question, still mid-traffic stop, comes to the unknown party and orders them to stop. They began failing to comply and started running away. The officer, who chased after the suspect, followed them into an alleyway and was placed under gunpoint. They managed to send a distress signal, and the individual being pulled over even called 911 to alert other units that the officer was in danger. Once additional units arrived, the suspect took off in the police cruiser, and a pursuit was initiated. The suspect crashed the cruiser and ran on foot, but they fell off a roof and injured themselves. Medical care was given to the suspect, and the officer was fortunately unharmed. The suspect was charged and later convicted of their actions.


    Sunday:

    Weapon Modifications Confiscated - Little Seoul
    At 0420, a traffic officer from the Vinewood Traffic Division witnessed a severe traffic accident occur at the Little Seoul area. A Sandking XL pick-up truck had collided with a tree, incapacitating 3 individuals and injuring 1. The traffic officer immediately started investigating the accident, before they noticed weapon modifications on one of the individuals. They called for backup, and a detective was called on scene to investigate further. Once medical treatment was provided, all the occupants were detained. After some extensive testing and questioning by the detective, 3 out of the 4 of the individuals were charged with weapon related charges, while the last individual is facing a firearms license removal due to breaching regulations. The illegal firearms, as well as modifications, were confiscated and destroyed.
