A costly measure to prevent the homeless from stealing trash in a downtown Manteca transit center may be nearing development.

Manteca card skimming scam foiled thanks to observant customer

Submitted by Dave Marquis on Wednesday, January 27th, 10:30 am

MANTECA, CA - What might have been a successful bank card skimming scam in the city of Manteca was foiled when an alert bank customer noticed something wasn't quite right.

It was 6:47 Sunday morning when two suspects came to the ATM at the Bank of Stockton in the 600 block of North Main Street in Manteca and put a fake card reader over the existing one. But, it was just over two hours later that a customer came through, noticed it was loose, wiggled it, took it off in his hands and called police.

"Yeah, we were very lucky that the customer that noticed immediately called the police department and we were able to stop it from happening to anybody else," said Manteca police detective Daniel Peters.

The device looked almost identical to the existing reader and is similar to many you can simply order for between a few hundred and $1000.00 over the Internet.

San Joaquin County to Launch Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Services for HIV Prevention

Submitted by Krista Dommer, San Joaquin County Public Health Services

Approximately 80 San Joaquin County Residents become newly infected with HIV every year

San Joaquin County Public Health Services (PHS) will begin offering HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in February.

PrEP is a way for people who do not have HIV, but who have an increased chance of getting it, to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill called Truvada every day. Truvada has been shown to be safe and to help HIV-negative people to stay that way. PrEP is used along with other prevention methods, such as condoms. When taken daily, PrEP can reduce the chance of getting HIV by more than 90 percent. If not taken daily, PrEP will not be as protective against HIV infection.

Rambling on a Thursday.

Submitted by rss-admin on Thursday, January 7th, 12:00 pm

Here I am again!

I got a little behind on the blog - seems like life's river was moving too fast and I just got swept up in the current. Thankfully I didn't drown, but there was some flailing about. But I am back.

The way I post is being slightly changed - I realize I only have time to just spit out thoughts, quick, real, honest, and unkempt. Are you ready?

I have been sicker than a dog for two months. Sick with a cold, sinus infection, chest crap, and probably most annoying, nausea.

Found out in February that I am pregnant.

Thankfully only one baby.

That one baby is reeking havoc on my tummy.

Joshua has been transplanted. February 22 he received new lungs.

Joshua is still in Stanford, healing the best he can.

The Manteca Bulletin

Submitted by rss-admin on Wednesday, January 6th, 8:32 am

The Manteca Bulletin has dedicated a lot of coverage lately to the gang shootings and issues we have been having here and in Lathrop. Over the weekend they reported the we intend to shift additional personnel out of investigative units and other special assignments to patrol to boost our response to the gang violence. I am not sure where they got that idea but it is not correct. We are at bare bones in all of these units and cannot afford to shift any additional personnel to patrol short of a significant emergency. This does not mean that we don't need to step up pressure on the gangs. Patrol, Detectives, and Street Crimes have all been doing a good job addressing gang crime are being as proactive as possible. But, we do need to get a handle on the problem before the hot weather gets here and school lets out for summer or we can expect even more violence.
