The women’s fashion boutique Liliana Castellanos is closing by the end of November in downtown Walnut Creek next to Lottie’s Creamery. They feature clothing from the South American designer Liliana Castellanos and currently everything in the store is 30% off, with an additional 10% off for purchases over $500. Some goods will still be available for purchase on their website here.
Props to the Cops:
On the above date and time, an astute employee of the Holiday Inn called WCPD to report seeing two male subjects with flashlights looking into vehicles in the parking lot. The subjects left the area on foot and were spotted by WCPD officers who arrived in a matter of seconds. One of the subjects (Martinez) was detained without incident. The other subject (male juvenile) ran from officers and jumped two barbed wire fences into a nearby business. A perimeter was immediately set up by officers and the male juvenile subject was located hiding underneath a storage area by a police K9.
Martinez and the male juvenile were both found to be in possession of stolen property and burglary tools. Martinez was booked at the county jail in Martinez and the male juvenile was booked at the juvenile hall in Martinez for a variety of charges (see above).
A total of two vehicles were located at the Holiday Inn that had been broken into. Property from those two vehicles was located by officers and returned to their owners. It is unknown if the suspects committed other thefts/burglaries prior to being seen, so residents in the area are encouraged to call WCPD, should they find their cars broken into. Reports can be made by calling WCPD at (925) 943-5844.
Suspects:
Eduardo Diaz Martinez, Hispanic male, 19 years old, last known address in Concord.
Hispanic male juvenile (name not released), 17 years old, last known address in Concord.
Well, that was fast. Brighton Collectibles has reopened in their prime Broadway Plaza spot after a short remodel. Back in August they temporarily relocated to the backside of Broadway Plaza which is now vacant again.
5th Avenue, Manhattan Tiffany door
Check out the door of the New York Tiffany’s location on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Note the anti-ram barrier pole right in front. Considering what happened to the Walnut Creek Tiffany’s back in August I wonder if crashing through the front door has become a popular way to rob high-end jewelry stores? I wouldn’t be surprised if the Walnut Creek Tiffany’s gets one of these anti-ram barriers in the near future. Then again, it’s far smaller than the 5th Avenue location so maybe it’s not necessary.

A few weeks ago I noted that Kaffa Cafe in downtown Walnut Creek had changed names and now the new signage is up. Looks great.
The Liberty Bell Plaza kiosks that opened last year in downtown Walnut Creek don’t seem to be looking so good as I dropped by yesterday and noticed every single one of them was closed. On a sunny Sunday afternoon. Is it over or will they reopen as Christmas approaches? Stay tuned…
