Police Calls: Traffic Collisions, Ammo Destruction

The Los Altos Police Log for Aug. 13 contains the notable and not-so-notable, like barking dogs and noise complaints.

 

We've culled from the Aug. 13 Los Altos Police bulletin, from gas leaf blower violations to dogs left in cars. What we're wondering is would a gas leaf blower really be used on a city property if it violates city ordinance?
