"Last night, in response to concerns expressed by a business owner regarding ongoing trespassing and vandalism incidents on his property occurring overnight, the Eureka Police Department's "E" Watch Patrol team conducted directed patrols along the 1400 block of Broadway throughout the night. 

Officers surveilled the area and conducted numerous extra patrol checks, contacting suspicious persons found loitering outside the closed businesses. 8 subjects were contacted on the property of concern, 3 of whom were arrested.

The suspects were taken into custody for various offenses including possession of a controlled substance (heroin and methamphetamine), possession of drug use paraphernalia, unlawful possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, probation violation, and bench warrants (4). 

E Watch plans to continue this maximum enforcement effort.  Great job team!"
