RPD Case # 17-14127
7/10/2017
Reno, NV – With hot summer temperatures in the forecast for the next several weeks, some residence in Northern Nevada are tempted to leave their garage doors open and unattended to keep their garage ventilated. Unfortunately criminals know this and Reno PD has had an increase in reports of items being stolen from garages in our area.
Reno Police warn that intruders can gain easy access to your home and valuables through your garage and potentially cause harm to you and your family. This is why you should always close your garage door, even if you leave it unattended for just a few minutes. You never know when an intruder can strike.
Most of the items that have been reported stolen have been easy to carry away like cordless drills, and hand tools. Other items, such as bicycles, have also been reported stolen which provide criminals with a quick means of escape. Many items stolen in these thefts never get returned to their owner because victims do not have the serial numbers for the items or have not etched their property.
Reno PD recommends that citizens write down, photograph or even video their valuables in their homes and garage areas. Citizens should document any item with a serial number, especially firearms and bicycles and keep these records in a safe place that cannot be destroyed by a fire or stolen by thieves. Items that do not have serial numbers on them can be etched with an inexpensive tool that can be purchased at any hardware store.
For more information on how to better protect your home or to check crime statistics in your area, residents can go to renopd.com or download the myRPD app on their smart phone for very useful information.

7/5/2017
Reno, NV – The night of June 30th, 2017 began the extended 4th of July weekend for many within Reno and Northern Nevada. Over the past 5 days, the Reno Police Department arrested 23 people for suspicion of driving under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. Of the arrests made by Reno PD from June 30th to July 4th, 19 people were arrested for DUI alcohol, 3 were for suspicion of DUI with Marijuana, and 1 was for suspicion of Methamphetamine. Two of the people arrested were involved in crashes which did not result in any major injuries being reported.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics show that at least 4,000 drivers are killed each year with drugs in their system. NHTSA also reported that 57% of fatally injured drivers had alcohol and/or drugs in their system – 17% had both.
The Reno Police Department wants to remind our community that impaired driving can be deadly, and costly. If you are convicted for first offense DUI alcohol or drugs you could receive the following fines from the courts:
First DUI conviction:
The total costs for your first DUI with hiring an attorney, court fees, insurance and DMV fees could be as high as $10,000 or $11,000. Hiring a private attorney alone could cost upwards of $4,500 or more if you cause injury or death as a result of impaired driving. Any additional offenses for DUI can result in more serious fines, and possibly even prison.
Reno Police want to encourage everyone in our community who believes they are too impaired to drive from either alcohol or drugs to not drive. Designate a sober driver, call a friend or family member, use public transportation, or call a taxi or Uber.
A portion of this DUI enforcement was paid for through a Joining Forces grant provided by the Nevada Department of Public Safety.
