Police report: May 6

3200 block of Rhode Island Avenue (Thrifty Rental Car): At about 9 am officers took a report of the theft of three Maryland license plates. The owner of the business told the officers that sometime during the previous night person(s) unknown entered the lot and stole the license plates off three rental vehicles. No additional damage was done to the vehicles and no evidence as to those responsible could be located.

3200 block of Rhode Island Avenue: At about 12 pm officers stopped a vehicle for exceeding the posted speed limit. The driver of the vehicle was checked through NCIC and found to have an open arrest warrant through Prince George’s County for theft over $500. She was arrested on the warrant and delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville. She was also issued the appropriate traffic citations for the speed violation.

3200 block of Varnum Street: At about 7:50 pm officers responded for a loud noise emanating from a parked vehicle. The officers located the vehicle and advised the occupants to turn the music down and they complied with the officers’ request. The officers ran a stolen check of the vehicle’s registration plates, and although they did not come back stolen they were found to be suspended for a compulsory insurance violation and there was an outstanding MVA pick-up order for the tags. The tags were removed from the vehicle and processed for return to MVA. Since the vehicle was legally parked the owner was allowed to make private arrangements to have it removed.
