Media advisory, Thursday, March 22, 2012, 11:30 a.m., Corner of Dundas Street West/Huron Street, 52 Division and Chinatown BIA launch Project "Blue Dragon"

On Thursday, March 22, 2012, 52 Division Superintendent Dave McCormack and the Chinatown Business Improvement Area Chair Tonny Louie will meet at the corner of Dundas Stree West/Huron Street to announce the start of Project ‘Blue Dragon’.

Superintendent McCormack will be speaking about the 10-week project that began on Monday, March 19, 2012. It is focusing on crime prevention, local disorder issues related to robberies, theft from autos, panhandling, intoxicated person(s), drugs and any related problems.

Police are being proactive and directing additional patrols in the Chinatown area.

Similar projects have taken place over the past year in the downtown Chinatown area and Blue Dragon will be very similar. Chinatown is a very safe neighbourhood and will continue to be so, with officers providing a heightened presence in the area, being proactive by visiting local businesses and reviewing crime prevention strategies. Auxiliary officers will also be deployed to educate area residents and visitors, reminding them to lock their car doors and not store any valuables in their cars.

Graffiti remains a main concern to the Chinatown BIA. Police will be working with the community and are encouraging residents, visitors and business owners who witness the act of graffiti taking place to call police immediately to report this or any other crime in progress through 9-1-1. If you see suspicious activity or have witnessed a crime, please call police at 416-808-2222. All acts of graffiti should be reported to police. Those who wilfully damage property commit the criminal act of "Mischief" and are subject to prosecution under the Criminal Code of Canada.

SECURITY GUARD CAPTURES SEX ASSAULT SUSPECT

FEBRUARY 29 2012

SANTA CRUZ CA Feb 29 2012 - A 21-year-old Morgan Hill man was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery following reports of a disturbance early Saturday morning at the Santa Cruz Metro Center.

Officers were dispatched to the Pacific Avenue station around 1:30 a.m., police spokesman Zach Friend said. When they arrived, a Metro security guard was detaining a sexual assault suspect. The guard told police he heard a woman scream “no,” and he went to investigate. The guard said he interrupted the suspect, Kivet Mendoza, who was holding the woman against the building as he attempted to touch her inappropriately while she told him to stop.

When the security guard intervened, Mendoza allegedly refused to obey the guard’s commands and threatened to stab him, Friend said. Mendoza then reached into his front pocket and advanced on the security officer. The two struggled on the ground for a short while before the guard was able to secure Mendoza in handcuffs as Santa Cruz police officers arrived. Police found a folding knife in Mendoza’s pocket.

According to police, the victim had met Mendoza at a party and the two agreed to go to her home. They were waiting to catch a bus there when Mendoza allegedly began to force himself on the woman to her objection, Friend said.

Mendoza was arrested and booked into County Jail on suspicion of multiple charges, including sexual battery, criminal threats and assault with a deadly weapon.
