The Berkeley Police Department has noticed a trend of carjackings occurring in Berkeley.

The majority of the carjackings have occurred in the evenings or early morning hours. In most of the cases, the people who have been carjacked have been threatened with knives or guns.

While we work to arrest the persons responsible for the carjackings, we encourage the public to take the following precautions.

When selecting a place to park, find the most well-lit and well-travelled parking space.
When returning to your vehicle, have your belongings situated in such a way that you can quickly get in your vehicle, lock the door, and drive away.
Remain alert and aware of your surroundings.
If you are meeting someone for an exchange, consider making the exchange at safe-exchange site or in a well-lit well-travelled location.
If you see something suspicious, do not hesitate to report it.
If you do become a victim of a carjacking, report the crime as soon as possible.
You may also want to consider adding a way to track your vehicle—such as a LoJack-style system or Airtag-style device hidden inside the vehicle.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
