Pacific Beach Crime Report for October 2019

Report vehicles parked more than 72 hours

A Pacific Beach resident in the Olney Street-area called PB Monthly with a concern regarding what he believes to be an unscrupulous car dealership using neighborhood streets for parking cars — weeks at a time, sometimes up to a month.

In response, San Diego Police Department Northern Division told PB Monthly that police are not aware of complaints regarding this issue, but if citizens notice cars parked on the street for more than 72 hours (3 days) at a time, they should report it by calling (619) 531-2000, so a parking officer can mark the vehicle and further investigate, if necessary.

Coyote warning in Mount Soledad area

A Mount Soledad-area resident called PB Monthly to warn of a rash of coyotes attacking and killing small pets, such as cats and dogs. The resident said she believed a construction project in the area has displaced the coyotes. She called the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, but said staff told her they no longer capture and re-locate coyotes.

Residents in the area are advised to keep a close eye on their pets and keep their dogs on leashes when going on walks.
