Watch out for cameras
An officer responded to Capitol Avenue at 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 24 for a reported burglary. The resident said she and her children left their home at about 6:30 a.m. and that she arrived home around 4 p.m. to find the double-hung window adjacent to the front door was open. The officer observed that the window appeared to have been pried or forced open, and the mini-blinds were pushed inward. The victim said all doors were locked prior to her leaving, and they were still secured when her daughter arrived home. She reported two laptops missing from the living room, her son’s Xbox 360 and an unknown amount of jewelry from her daughter’s room. The suspect is unknown, and there were no witnesses at the time of the report. The victim said she does have a surveillance camera above the front entry door, which the officer observed to be undamaged. The victim said she would need a computer to check the footage.

Listen to the dog
Officers were dispatched to East Grand Avenue on Aug. 24 after an attempted burglary was called in at 5:48 p.m. An officer spoke with the resident, who reported that she and her son were sleeping on the couch in the living room on the main floor when their dog started barking and “acting crazy.” She let the dog out the rear entry door and into the fenced backyard, and the dog continued to bark, focusing on the west side of the house. The victim said she went to work, but that her fiancé called her and said the screen to the west-facing window was opened about two feet. The victim told police that window is always closed, and that there was no entry made to the residence, but she wanted a report made anyway. The suspect is unknown, and there were no known witnesses.
