Police Report: July 6

4500 block of Eastern Avenue (BP Station): At about 2:40 pm officers took a theft from auto report. The victim/owner told the officers that he parked his Volkswagen Jetta at the gas station lot and went to work. When he returned he discovered that person(s) unknown had broken into the vehicle and stole several personal items from inside. No evidence as to those responsible could be found at the scene.

4100 block of 31st Street: At about 6:25 am officers responded for the report of a residential burglary. The officer spoke with the resident who said that he left his home for work at about 8:30 am on July 5th returning home at about 10:30 pm. He did not notice anything amiss and retired for the night. When he got up around 6:20 am on the 6th he noticed that his kitchen window was open and a can of change missing. He also discovered a broken window in his garage door.
