Police Report: July 15

Buchanan Street and Queenstown Drive: At about 2:30 pm officers investigated a hit and run motor vehicle collision. The victim/owner of a 2002 BMW showed the officers where, sometime prior to the report, another vehicle struck her BMW and failed to stop and report the collision. The victim’s car sustained minor damage.

3200 block of Rhode Island Avenue: At about 3 pm officers took a report of a theft from auto. The reporting person showed the officers where sometime during the previous night someone cut the fuel lines on a rental truck and stole an undetermined quantity of gasoline. No evidence was recovered and no witnesses identified.

3200 block of Queens Chapel Road: At about officers responded for the report of a commercial burglary. A worker in the business told the officers that she was in her office when she heard a loud noise coming from the front of the building. When she opened her office door to investigate she saw two men come in the front door. When the two men saw her they immediately fled the building. She immediately retreated to her office, locked the door and called police. A PGPD canine unit responded to the scene and searched the entire building and the surrounding area for the two men with negative results. Further investigation revealed that the two men apparently pried open the locked front door to gain entry. The woman was only able to describe the two men as black males, one of whom was wearing an orange t-shirt.

4700 block of 25th Street: At about 7:20 pm officers took a report of a missing juvenile. The juvenile’s mother told the officers that her 17 year old daughter left home at about 10 am on July 13th and had not returned. The juvenile’s information was entered into the NCIC missing persons database.

37th and Otis Streets: At about 9:15 pm officers received a call for an individual riding an off-road vehicle. When they arrived they found a man riding the vehicle described by the complainant through the skate park. They stopped him at 37th and Otis Streets, issued him several traffic citations and impounded the vehicle.

Most of these remote entry devices have a panic button that activates your vehicle’s security alarm system. Test it.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
