Yeah, you know, we do have things improving already on some of these commutes. And its only 701. The Richmond Bridge started off slow, and now were seeing improvement. A lot of these commutes dont have a lot of volume. Highway four is still slow, although we probably will see improvement soon. Theres been just a little bit of a backup at the bay bridge and not much at all on the san mateo bridge 701. Lets get back to the headlines. New numbers bear out with car owners in oakland have been saying for a while now that their vehicles have become too easy a target. Oakland averages well over more than 1000 car break ins every month. Fbi Crime Statistics rank oakland and detroit as the two worst auto theft cities in the country. Thats why beginning today, people are being asked to report car break ins in the city of oakland through a direct message on social media, the Police Department launched a new social media counts as a way to try something different. Ctvs james torres in studio now explaining why police need your help to make this plan work. James andre garcia behind me here, this is the x version and the handle you need to know is right here at oakland auto burg. Here, theres also an instagram version as well. They say if you see a car break in happening all you have to do is look at that direct message button, hit it and now all of a sudden you start a chat with the oakland Police Department there. You can also start a tweet thread with them. But the direct message gives you a little bit of an extra layer of protection. And here are some of the details they are asking for that you can submit to. They say details like a description of the criminal, maybe information about the victims cars as well, location included in that license plate numbers, if you can see it. And if its safe, snag a photo or video and pass it along. This is just a trial run. They say these accounts will only last throughout the weekend. But officers want to see if a different approach can help officers say these criminals park, break a window, steal and move on. Most of the time in less than 10s. So to catch a criminal, they need a little bit of luck to be in the right place at the right time. This pilot program, they say they hope will try to change that by the time they get the dial tone for the phone starts ringing, the cars already gone. It could be breaking into another car. So what we realize is we have to be creative, think outside of the box and look at ways where we can get the information in or the intelligence of whos doing these crimes at a much rapid pace almost instantaneously. Auto burglaries are up 36 from last year, with more than 11,000 reported to pd so far this year. The Police Department says it will have plain clothed officers on the streets as well as decoys and air assets all happening this weekend to try to catch as many burglars as possible because this is a pilot, the Police Department will deactive hate the x and instagram accounts at the end of this weekend unless officers feel this is making enough of a big of a big difference. They say this is meant for just reporting purposes. They ask anyone if you see a break in happening, do not engage with the criminals. Garcia james torres, thank you.

So if youre going to the Richmond Bridge, give yourself extra time. Elsewhere in the east bay, we do have some slowing on highway four, but it is slow from pittsburgh to concord. Not a big backup at the bay bridge. Weve had just some slowing. Not a lot. Its certainly not as it would be on monday through thursdays commute at 710. Lets go back to the desk. Pg e bills are getting more expensive. Were breaking down a new study that shows just how much rates have jumped recently. I first i thought it was a hit and run.

New this morning, the San Rafael City Council has approved the creation of a Police Oversight board. The formation of the committee follows an arrest in the citys canal district last year.

Police say lopez repeatedly refused their commands during an open container investigation. State lawmakers in sacramento will soon vote on a bill that is designed to close a loophole in prosecuting car breakins in california. Under current law, prosecutors must prove that a car door was locked at the time of a break in. Even if the evidence shows the defendant bashed in a window. The bill would make proof of Forcible Entry sufficient to prove the crime. So we wont need the victims or the possessors of those cars to say anything on that issue whatsoever, which very well could lead to us not needing their testimony whatsoever. The bill is expected to go before state lawmakers in january and would likely have a huge impact on San Francisco, where nearly 15,000 car breakins have been reported so far this year.

The chp said that such crimes are extremely rare and reminded everyone not to confront criminals in the act. 716 your time right now. Sal castaneda back up this morning with a look at the road south. Hows it looking on this friday . Yeah, you know, we do have a problem there, andre and garcia and that would be on 580 westbound coming up on canal. Theres a pretty serious crash here. And it looks like one vehicle is off the road. Has run numerous traffic breaks in the area. There is still a backup however, on the Richmond Bridge approach. Some people are getting through and you will see that the traffic is going to be busy. Now, we dont have a big backup on highway four, but there is one. As you come over to concord. And theres also a backup, a very small one, between the toll plaza and the metering lights. But the bay bridge is lighter than usual. San mateo and dumbarton bridge look good as you head over to the peninsula and the south bay commute has been okay. 7 to 16. Lets bring steve back with todays weather. Sal its cold.

That seems to be where theyre going. Not north. So mostly sunny skies here, maybe a few clouds kind of rolling in, but its a darn cold morning out there. A mix of sun and clouds, but i think a lot more sun this system seems to be falling apart. Theres actually a couple of forecasts. One is today cold morning and then well have a cool day. Mostly sunny, partly sunny, 60. A weak system. A dry, cold front means you wont see any clouds with it probably will kick in saturday. That will generate the offshore breeze, september and october.

Thatll be saturday, saturday night, early sunday.
