Local authorities had a big win this week when automated license plate readers in Palo Alto helped catch several carjacking suspects who targeted a student near campus Monday night. 

Here's our story.

We also wanted to call your attention to two important events in the next week. 

On Saturday, Aug. 19, we'll be attending (and covering) a Justice for Rienheart rally at the main Oakland courthouse by Lake Merritt. That's set to start at 1225 Fallon St. at 1 p.m.

The goal of the rally is to provide a forum for the families of murder victims in Alameda County.

If you missed our coverage in June of Rienheart's death, you can catch up here.
