Gilroy enjoyed a relatively quiet week, as far as crime goes, but police responded to a handful of random criminal acts. Here are a few standout events.
Two juveniles were arrested after an officer observed a Honda Civic run a stop sign on Moro Drive on Friday, June 15 at 7:45 p.m. The officer tried to make contact with the driver, who allegedly fled and sped up to 80 miles per hour on Santa Teresa Boulevard, running multiple stop signs and a stop light, before crashing into a parked car on Lions Creek Drive.
Three years ago, a Gilroy High School senior suffering from lupus beamed when the Make-A-Wish Foundation made his automotive fantasy come true, giving his 1995 Honda Civic a complete makeover including a new paint job, stereo, keyless entry system, shiny gold rims and new tires with a lifetime warranty.
