Hmmmm. I was at the movies with my husband. Haven't heard anything since getting home. What side of MV? I'm up by the lake and went to the Regal in Foothill so I haven't been in the south side of the city tonight.

Okay...we decided to go find out what was going on....it was in Pacific Hills....it was a barricade situation but apparently no one was hurt or anything like that...we watched it for about an hour...maybe something will be on the news....
NOTE for possible MV future residents: this is EXTREMELY rare, MV is a very safe community and these occurrences are VERY far and between.

Goes to show. People in LA would not have even noticed the helicopter. It is such a rare thing in south OC that you had to run and check it out.

The Sheriff's dept has a fantastic website at www.ocsd.org - you choose Sheriff's blotter and your city and you can see all the activity going on. They update it with the reports and arrest info. You can also check many other items like who is in jail, arrest warrants, etc.

We were never able to find a good source for helicopter activity though. We lived in MV & south OC for 11 years and my husband is a helicopter nut, so we noticed them quite frequently.

That's what I'm saying too.In SD the "Johny PoPO chopper(what we call it down here) is in the air as much as it is in Los Angeles.We pay it no mind.But I guess that will always be a major thing in (South)Orange County anytime it happens.LOL

i heard the actual helicopter it was circling above my house, my sister and i went in our backyard when we heard a muffled radio and helicopter. They were flying in circles so it kept cutting out but we heard "ATTENTION THIS IS THE POLICE ..... (they said something else muffled couldn't hear).... WE WILL FIND YOU .... INMATES AGES (26, 20 something and something else....muffled couldn't hear) IF YOU SEE THE CRIMINALS CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY" they repeated this for about 30 min above my house and i am very curious as to what exactly happen

You heard the helicopter circling in your town...in 2009 (when OP posted)?

This is the way to get a more accurate view of crime and the crime surge occurring in OC

Crime and Courts - The Orange County Register

Masked men hold up Zara at South Coast Plaza

One suspect caught, others on the loose after attempted residential burglary in Rancho Santa Margarita

Bank robberies in Brea and Yorba Linda could be related

This site is good too

No in spite of what some may think I believe about OC today, it's generally safe, but it's definitely changed and there is a reason why people like South OC better now.
