Sneaky suspect

Police responded to a burglary at 4940 Urbandale Ave. in Des Moines on Oct. 13. Virginia Bryant told police when she arrived home at about 5:15 p.m., she noticed the TV in the front living room was missing. Bryant said she exited the home and called 911.

Bryant said no doors or windows appeared to be ajar when she arrived home, and officers did not observe any forced entries into the residence.

Bad wake up call

Lydia Moore reported a burglary after she woke up to find a man in her bedroom on Douglas Avenue on the morning of Oct. 14. The suspect was using a flashlight to go through her clothes. He was wearing a bandana over his face and a green Army jacket. Moore told police the suspect gained entry through the front door, which was locked, but there was no sign of forced entry other than an end table pushed out of the way. Nothing was taken, and the suspect fled from the house when Moore woke up.

Paid in cash

Police were called for a robbery reported by Nicholas Romeo on Oct. 13 at 2:36 p.m. Romeo said he knew the two suspects from school, and he called one of them because he was looking for a new vehicle. The victim was told to meet the suspects at a residence to look at the car for sale. When he got there, they spoke in the kitchen, and the car was said to be in the garage. Romeo stated he never saw the car, and that one of the suspects demanded to see the cash. Romeo pulled out the cash and counted it on the suspect’s request. As he was counting, the suspects began assaulting him, punching him numerous times in the head and kicking him. Romeo tried to grab as much of the money as he could that had scattered around the room, but the suspects physically threw him out of the house. He drove a few blocks away and waited for police, but he did not see where the suspects went. CV
