Between Jan. 7 and Jan. 11 a lady's diamond and ruby ring was taken from a locked glass case inside the US Antiques store.

Vallco Security detained the male and called the sheriff's office. A deputy responded and made contact with four security officers.

Possession of False ID--Jan. 16, 11 p.m., at Foothill Expressway and Cristo Rey Drive. A deputy detained a vehicle for failure to stop at a red light. Upon contact, the driver verbally identified himself.
