kron four's spencer blake spoke with police today, and joins us live.spencer, where in livermore have these thefts been happening? really the quick answer to that is all over. in fact, the police department sent us a map showing where the thefts have happened this year.there is no concentration, no hot spot - just dots all over the city. we know they've also happened in all átypes of places - parking lots, residential streets, apartment complexes - you name it.this is the reason police sent us this information - they want everyone to know that it actually is a problem, and it's been getting worse.we know of one suspect who was connected to the theft of 10 trucks over the course of 16 days, but aside from that, it's hard to say if city-wide car thefts are related. lieutenant john hurd says there are as many theories as there are stolen vehicles. "we've made 13 arrests this year of people either stealing a vehicle or being in possession of a stolen vehicle. so those are 13 people that have been impacted and taken to jail, and we're still having 'em, so it's hard to say it's connected to
