Concord Police are investigating a strong-arm robbery that occurred near PetSmart on Willow Pass Road in Concord at about 11:50pm on Saturday night.

The suspect, according to police, is a black male adult on a bike. The victim says the suspect grabbed his cell phone, pushed him down, then took off on a bike towards Clayton Road.

The suspect has not been located, and no injuries were reported.

A drive-by shooting was reported at about 10:40 on Saturday night in the area of Granada Drive in Concord, which is off Willow Pass Road.

We’re getting reports that occupants of one vehicle apparently shot at another moving vehicle. Nobody was injured, and at least three shell casings (one of which is pictured above) were found at the scene.

There’s a vehicle collision, which is blocking the roadway at the intersection of Galindo/Cowell/Monument/Oakmead in Concord.

If you plan to drive in the area, use caution, or take a detour. The road should be clear by 4pm.

Scott with SG Construction tells Claycord.com traffic is blocked in three directions, and it’s only open if you’re traveling out of downtown towards Monument Boulevard.

The crash is under investigation. No word yet on injuries.

Thanks to Scott for the pictures!
