Petty theft, unlocked vehicle: 1800 block of Fairmount Avenue.

Vehicle tampering: 4800 block of Tocaloma Lane. A man said he’d just installed a surveillance system at his home the day before and was reviewing footage that day when he saw a male adult attempt to enter his 2012 Toyota Rav 4 at around 3:12 a.m. by pulling on the driver’s door handle before walking away. The man had short hair and was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and long pants. His face was partially obscured by a piece of clothing.
Burglary, residence: Berkshire Place. A man told deputies sometime between 4:30 p.m. the day before and 7 a.m. that day, someone cut the chain links attached to a front gate lock and gained entry into his frontyard. The suspect(s) appeared to have used an unknown object to break the plywood around his unlocked front door in order to steal multiple boxes of Greystone European oak hardwood from inside.
Identity theft: 4100 block of Cambridge Road. A man said three weeks earlier he received a call from a collection agency claiming he’d co-signed on a credit card opened in August 2018 and that money was owed on the card. The next day, a bank representative told him the matter would be investigated as a potential fraud case, pending a police report.
