Police Log Part II: Man Leaves Message at Bank, Threatens to Knock Teeth Out

July 28 – Lost and Found

• 2500 block of Kirk Drive

A police officer saw a bicycle standing on the sidewalk adjacent to the Septa Train Tracks. The bike was a blue Mongoose “Ace” BMX style with a white front fork and handlebars. It matches a similar description to a missing bike in last week’s Police Log.

A resident said the bike had been in that position for several hours, and the cop took the bike back to the LMPD garage for storage.

July 28 – Lost and Found

• 120 block of Tomlinson Rd.

Susan Bradford returned a wallet to LMPD after she found it on the Trenton Regional Railway Train after she found it lying on the floor prior to arriving at the Philmont Train Station.

The wallet belonged to Mark Mayes Jr., 25. It contained his PA driver’s license, a Social Security card, an NJ driver’s license, two debit cards belonging to Mayes, a SEPTA transpass, a NJ registration card and a PA driver’s license for Courtney Drummond.

Susan Bradford, you are LM Patch’s ‘Good Samaritan of the Week!’

July 27 – Harassment

• 2755 Philmont Ave. - Public Savings Bank

Therese O’Brien contacted police after a disgruntled customer left harassing voice mails to the employee. According to the message left by Dennis Alekseyev, 35, he claimed he was going to “come in the bank and knock out 10 teeth for every dollar he is owed.”

Alekseyev felt the bank had jerked him around on getting a deposit back. O’Brien said she does not wish for him to be charged, but rather warned to not call back again.

July 26 – Suspicious Persons

• 200 block of Huntingdon Pike – Valley Car Wash

A police officer observed the door to the supply closet open at the Valley Car Wash. While checking the rest of the building, he observed a Dodge Minivan parked in the self serve cleaning bay. The Dodge didn’t have its registration displayed and it appeared that someone from the carwash had detailed the car earlier in the night. The keys were observed under the windshield wipers and it had been parked there for several hours, according to police.

The officer secured the Dodge and played the keys in the supply closet.
