Several reports came into the Piedmont Police Department, with the first at 6:45 a.m. The suspect hit several cars on Caperton and Lakeview avenues. The suspect also burglarized a vehicle on Sheridan Avenue, where sunglasses valued at $1,000 were taken, according to Piedmont Police.

Follow up on the crimes is ongoing.
On Dec. 12, police received a hit on a stolen 2014 black Toyota Camry. The vehicle had been reported stolen in Oakland two days before. The car was located unoccupied on the 3800 block of Piedmont Avenue, according to Monahan. The registered owner was notified and retrieved the vehicle.
