KCSO reports September 24, 2013

At 9:25 p.m. on Friday, a deputy was dispatched to ABC Supply on Pittsburgh Avenue in response to a burglar alarm.  He found a broken window a the rear of the building but noted that it was a double-paned window but only the exterior pane was broken.  He noted no signs of actual entry.  Eventually, a second deputy arrived and they checked the rear of the building more closely.  When a keyholder arrived, they checked the interior of the building and found that nothing was missing.  Due to heavy rains at the time, the windows were not checked for latent prints.

At around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, an unknown suspect removed a purse from a victim’s parked vehicle.  She informed a deputy that the purse was taken either while the vehicle was parked at her residence on Ankneytown Road in Fredericktown or while she was in the parking lot at Knox Community Hospital.  The victim was not able to provide a detailed list of items in the purse.

At around 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, a victim reported that an unknown person or persons entered his unlocked vehicle and removed items from it sometime overnight.  The vehicle was parked outside the victim’s residence on the 800-block of Winesap Circle in Howard at the time.  The victim provided a list of missing items and noted also that a factory-installed Tom-Tom GPS device had been removed and vandalized at the scene—with the damaged device left on the vehicle’s center console.

At 9:10 a.m. on Sunday, another resident of the 800-block of Winesap Circle reported that someone had broken the passenger-side window out of her vehicle and removed her purse sometime during the previous night.

Just after 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, a victim called and reported that an eight foot by ten foot aluminum sign belonging to Tree Frog Canopy Tours on Wally Road in Glenmont had been stolen sometime during the previous night.

At around 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, a resident of the 100-block of Crabapple Drive in Howard reported that someone had stolen his orange-and-white Stihl leaf-blower out of his trailer sometime during the previous night.
