OCSD - Dana Point Police Services

A few weeks ago, Dana Point deputies were patrol checking the area of Scenic Drive and Cove Road when they located a suspicious vehicle parked in a handicap spot.

After conducting an on-scene investigation and running the license plate, deputies confirmed the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Los Angeles County.

Deputies approached the driver of the vehicle and subsequently arrested him for possession of a stolen vehicle and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent. The vehicle was recovered and removed from the statewide stolen vehicle system.

What may look like a quick conversation between deputies is often active communication, teamwork, and real-time investigation happening behind the scenes.

This is your sign from a galaxy far, far away to slow down.

Our Motor Deputies are reminding drivers to use the force responsibly and obey the speed limit.💫
