Police in napa say a particular crime is on the rise. Thieves are targeting cars but not to steal the car. Ktvus Tara Moriarty is live in napa to tell us whats happening and why this is also a health hazard. Tara . Reporter well, people say they are really frustrated this is happening in their neighborhood. Police say its been going on for the past week, where folks will come outside of walmart, go to start their car and it wont start because someone has drained the gas. This area is one of the known areas to be targeted. Police say the thieves have been targeting people throughout the downtown area. Officers say that they are drilling or punching holes in victims gas tanks and the suspect or suspects are trying to drain the gas out of the car, causing significant damage, rutting in expensive repairs. Police say keeping close tabs on your vehicle at all times is a good idea. Most of my cars are locked up at night and in a secured area. So for most people, yeah, people your cars closed, yes. Keep them in the garage, if you can. Reporter firefighters have been responding to many of these calls because of the large amount of gas that leaks onto the roadway creating a hazard. Officers believe the thieves are using tools such as a hand drill or screwdriver. Suvs and pickup trucks are primarily being targeted perhaps because of their raised height. The thieves are striking during the day and the night in busy parking lots as well as quiet neighborhood streets. We did speak to one officer who says that Surveillance Video may be key here. It may help the person or people responsible. Im Tara Moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. 7 45. Police tell ktvu that a driver who was charged in a deadly pedestrian crash earlier this year is legally blind. 56yearold robert gillcet is accused of hitting and killing 98yearold joe loft in april. Loft was in a crosswalk when he was hit. Police tell us gillcrest is visually impaired. He was driving on a license that had been suspended 14 years ago. Investigators say he also may have been eating as he was driving because they found a bowl of macaroni inside of his car. Gillcrest is being charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving without a license. A man accused of stealing a truck and leading police on a wild chase through San Francisco is behind bars. Officers say the surveillance images show the path of destruction created by the suspect while he was on the run yesterday. Hes accused of taking a truck from a construction site, then driving it against traffic on a oneway street. At least half a dozen cars were damaged before officers stopped him at the civic center. A firefighter out with his crew heard the police call and was eventually able to help chase him down. I just went to help apprehend him. Not really our job. We work with the police so much, you know, its it just seemed natural. No one was injured during this incident. The suspect was booked on suspicion of auto theft and hit and run. But investigators say because of the complex nature of this case, its very likely he will be facing some additional charges. Wow. All right. 7 47. Lets get people moving. Sal, you got your eyes on 880. Yeah, unfortunately, its not Getting Better. What happened about an hour ago was a truck that was carrying panes of glass basically lost its load southbound 880 at 23rd and they are cleaning it up. Theyve had to close the lanes to do so. Traffic has not gotten better for a while. It was Getting Better and leading me to believe they were making progress. Right now its stopped. One of our crews trying to get to the coliseum for this big as story, absolutely stuck in stop andgo traffic. They had to pull over. This is whats going on. Dont let that be you. Use eastbound 580 to 238 as an alternate. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza. You can see traffic is backed up for a 20, 25minute wait before you cross over to the San Francisco side. The eastshore freeway is moderate. 27 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. Thats largely due to earlier problems that are now gone. Now, lets go to steve. All right, sal. Thank you very much. A lot of low clouds out there. Even much stronger breeze for many out of the west here. A lot of low clouds, it looks like its winning out a little bit. There should be a slight cooldown for some. For others, it will take sunday into monday. But there is a bigger fog bank. Overnight lows are cooler. The wind is picked up especially out to the delta, a couple of people told me it feels cooler. There are some areas that are hard pressed to cool off once you get stuck in the pattern.
