A Spano Enterprises job site at Ashlan and Blythe in Fresno has been vandalized the last two weekends.  Cutting and taking romex wire and copper tubing.

The incidents have happened at dusk or early sunrise.  The units that were stripped of wire were at least four to five at a time.  The entire building was in the process of being lathed which made access inside very easy.  They would cut the romex wiring in each stud bay so that they would have short pieces.

At present the damage has been considerable.  They have had to rewire the entire building twice.

Spano Enterprises now has security at night on this job.

On a jobsite at the Riverside Golf Course on the North side in an empty field (cross streets Brian & Spruce).  A D-9 dozer was vandalized, it looks like someone took a piece of square metal tubing and broke out the 5 larger windows on this piece of equipment.  Large foot prints were found at the scene.

Several tools were stolen from a Teichert Construction job site.  This is the second time that this job site has been targeted.

An employee of Teichert Construction was on his way to a auto parts store & saw a loader in an empty lot (on Brawley near Ashlan) that looked like a loader that was stolen from a job site that he had been working on the first of the week.
Curious, he called his foreman with the number off of the machine and it was verified that it was the loader that had been stolen.
The loader was returned to Sunbelt Rentals on July 3rd, 2008

This Teichert Construction employee did recieve a REWARD.

GREAT JOB TEICHERT CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEE, FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE!

Upon arrival at the jobsite in South Fresno, workers found several windows broken and damaged on various pieces of large construction equipment.
The damage was estimated to be in excess of $5,000.00.
One of Jim Crawford Construction's low bed trucks was dispatched to the jobsite to begin movine the damaged equipment for repair.  When the truck reached the jobsite, two young boys approached the driver.  The boys explained they had seen the CICP signs located at the jobsite and wanted to pass on their knowledge of the crime.
The Fresno Police department was contacted, and the suspects are under investigation thanks to the tip from the two youngsters.
At this time, no arrests have been made, possibly due to the fact the suspects are minors.
On May 7th, however, the construction equipment on the same job site was receiving gunfire while employees of Crawford Construction were on and around the equipment.  The employees his behind the equipment and no one was injured.  We suspect this is in retaliation to police investigation. 
The board has elected to provide a $500.00 reward to the two boys who reported the initial crime information.  The boys will remain anonymous and the checks will be delivered by Shelly Crawford, CEO of Jim Crawford Construction and she will be accompanied by her dispatcher.  This will be done in the strictest of confidence to protect the boys.
