Embezzlement, Plumtree Drive
A Hollister resident reported to police that he had lent his car to a friend for a certain amount of days, and that his friend had failed to return it on the agreed upon day. After a few additional days, the friend stopped returning calls and texts, so the victim contacted law enforcement. The crime is termed as embezzlement because the suspect did not initially steal the vehicle. Rather, the victim trusted the suspect with the car, and the suspect then failed to return it.
