Police Blotter: Alarm At Lookouts' Stadium, But Only Knocked Over Cups Found; Spider Web Crack In Car Window Caused By Heat, Not Vandalism

  • Saturday, September 4, 2021

Police were called to the Lookouts' Stadium at 201 Power Alley in response to a burglar alarm in the concession area. Police checked the area but found no open gates to get into the stadium. After making contact with the keyholder, police walked through the stadium with him. There were a few open doors within the stadium, however the keyholder said there was no obvious theft at this time, and police did not notice any damage to any stadium property.  There were, however, some cups knocked into the floor of one of the concession areas. In the concession area where the cups were knocked over was an overhead camera. The keyholder does not have access to the video footage, however he was given a compliant card and instructions on how to add information to the report if any suspect information or evidence of a crime is found. Police then exited the stadium with the man after he secured doors and gates he felt necessary.

While working an extra job at Hamilton Place Mall, an officer reviewed security camera footage of a prior incident of vandalism to a car. The officer saw the woman park her car and entered the mall. She returned to her vehicle approximately 15 minutes later. During that interval, no one came near her vehicle. There is a moment where her passenger side window appears to go from solid to broken in a single frame of the footage. No one was around the vehicle and the window only appears to "spider web crack" entirely, but does not fall in. It appears that this break was caused due to heat and not any act of vandalism.
