Crime Report: Homeowners Foil Crooks and Other Crimes

Burglary Residence
Sometime between Dec. 5 and Dec. 24
6100 block of East 112th Avenue
Unknown subjects used a rock to break out a rear window and entered the home but nothing was taken, according to Community Service Officer Tracy Mishler.

The homeowner is in the process of moving out of the home and a few items had been left inside, Mishler said.

Attempted Residential Burglary
Dec. 26, between 2 and 2:15 p.m.
6700 block of Dunes Lane
Three unknown subjects knocked on the door of the home, Mishler said. The victim was upstairs and was unable to get downstairs quickly. When the victim did not see anyone at the front door, the victim went back upstairs.

The victim then heard noises downstairs and saw three unknown subjects attempting to pry open a rear sliding glass door using some cooking tools they found near the victim’s grill, Mishler said. The victim scared off the subjects, who ran to a white vehicle and drove away.

The suspects are described as black males between 18 and 20 years old, Mishler said. They were wearing T-shirts and baseball caps. The vehicle is a late model white sedan.

Mishler said there was also a suspicious person call on Dec. 23 at approximately 7:37 p.m.

He said three to four unknown teenagers approached an open carport at a home in the 200 block of South Glen Arven Avenue. The resident confronted the subjects who fled on foot.

The homeowner called the police department and responding officers were able to find the subjects nearby, Mishler said.

One subject was on probation for burglary and other crimes, Mishler said. Another was taken into custody and charged with violation of probation. The others were released from the scene.

Mishler commended the homeowner for quickly calling police.
