Officers were dispatched to the Moraga 7-Eleven store June 14 after a clerk there called to report a person of questionable age who entered and demanded tobacco products – which the clerk refused to give without appropriate identification (nice work). At this point the nicotine fiend reportedly tried to take said products by force, inflicting injury upon the store manager in the process, before fleeing the store and driving away. Case under investigation.

June 14 appears to have been a day for decline and dash thievery as employees at the Moraga Orchard Supply Hardware store called to report a man who approached a register attempting to purchase $400 worth of tools until his credit card was declined.

This case is also under investigation.
