Police Log: Stolen Hondas, Barking Dog, Pot, and More Pot

Notable incidents encountered March 4 to 10.

The Pleasanton Police Department last week fielded calls for impaired drivers, thefts, drug-related incidents and four stolen vehicles — two of which happened to be older-model Honda Civics.

A 2000 green Civic was reported stolen from Tonopah Circle Saturday, and a 1995 gray Civic went missing March 5 from Stoneridge Drive. 

Three cases involving marijuana possession, two that included minors, were recorded.
