Police Log: Registration Scofflaws 'Tow-Nailed'

Some folks found themselves car-less last week as their vehicles were towed for overdue registration, according to Dublin Police Services records.  

According to California Department of Motor Vehicles code 22651, law enforcement can order vehicles towed for a variety of reasons, including expired tags.

To retrieve vehicles, owners must produce valid driver's licenses and up-to-date registration, plus pay associated fines, penalties, towing costs and storage fees. 

Records show the handful of cars affected last week in Dublin were towed during daytime hours from residential and commercial streets.

Also last week, Chase Banks were robbed a day apart in Livermore and Pleasanton.

Were the crimes related? Were the suspects the same? Are those the same gloves? Read more here.
