$15,000 reward offered for information about 63 projectile incidents

PRUNEDALE, Calif. (KION) The California Highway Patrol said it is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for the 63 projectile incidents along Highway 101 and SR 156.

The CHP said nobody has been seriously injured, but if you believe that your vehicle has been hit by a projectile, they recommend that you:

• Turn on your hazard lights
• Pull over on the right shoulder
• Call 911
• Do not disturb any physical evidence

The CHP said that if you do not feel safe pulling over where you were hit, get off on the next exit and dial 911. They remind drivers that the sooner they call law enforcement, the sooner officers can get to the scene.

There have been increased patrols in the Prunedale area, according to the CHP, but the Maximum Enforcement Periods during Chrismas and New Years are approaching too. At those times, 80% of available officers will be on the road.
