  • Saturday, April 10, 2021

A man on Delores Drive called police about a possible auto theft. However, when police arrived and spoke with the man and a woman, they found that the man had been sleeping and the woman took the car and went to the store to get drinks and cigarettes, then she came back home. No theft occurred, only a misunderstanding due to the woman not wishing to wake the man up when she went to the store. A man on Auburndale Avenue called police and said he last saw his vehicle around 4 p.m. the day before, parked at home.

He said the vehicle stayed there overnight and that morning he discovered that the inside of the vehicle had been rummaged through, but nothing was stolen. He said there was no damage to the vehicle and it had been left unlocked overnight.
