“Dear Red Phone, Twice recently I have seen a sign-twirler for one of those temporary Halloween stores that pop up every year holding a sign on the corner of 10th and Camino Arroyo (and in Morgan Hill on Cochrane Road). My problem is, these sign-twirlers wear full masks, you know those scary white ones that burglars wear. Isn't it illegal to completely cover your face in public with a mask, even in the festive season of Halloween? Thank you.”

A 22-year-old man is in critical condition as of Monday afternoon after he was shot multiple times in an attempted murder early Monday morning outside an apartment complex on Westwood Drive, according to Gilroy Police.

Last fall, Gilroy Police wrapped up the 39-agency, 16-month undercover sting known as Operation Garlic Press that culminated with a four-day arrest blitz of 118 suspects – and one year later, police say Gilroy streets are safer.

Gilroy police arrests Aug. 14 through Aug. 20

Gilroy Police had a successful night with five arrests for drunk driving as  part of the DUI checkpoint they conducted on Monterey Road at Howson Street on Friday night.

The Gilroy Police Department has concluded their investigation into the owner who fled the scene when his pit bull attacked a dachshund at Starbucks on First Street on July 14, causing the dachshund to be euthanized and causing non-life threatening injuries to its owner. 

The dachshund laid in a pool of its own blood. Dazed and nearly passed out from an injury to her arm, Luann watched the pit bull’s owner strut away minutes before police arrived.

Gilroy police are asking the public for help in locating an armed felon who is on the lam as of Sunday night.
