Retail Theft

Alisa H. Zhou, 18, of the 8100 block of Fairmount, Downers Grove, was charged with retail theft. Zhou was arrested after an incident at 4:43 p.m. on the 7400 block of Lemont Road. Through video surveillance, an employee saw Zhou remove a $25 media stick from its packaging and then drop the empty package in the store. She was confronted and voluntarily went to the security office. Zhou told employees she dropped the stick somewhere in the store, but employees had yet to find it.

Zhou was transported to the Downers Grove Police Department, booked and charged. She did not wish to provide a written statement. She was released on I-bond with a court date pending. Police gave her a ride back to her vehicle.

Stolen Motorcycle Plate

Someone took a $48 rear license plate off a black 2011 Yamaha FZ8, the owner reported at 11:34 a.m. The incident occurred sometime between 4 p.m. April 14 and 11 a.m. April 15 on the 900 block of Burlington Avenue. "The complainant further advised that the license plate was attached to the motorcycle with special screws so (he's) confident that the plate did not fall off," said the report for this incident. He's already had the plate replaced.
