Police Report: September 10-11

September 10th:

2900 block of Allison Street: At about 11:45 a.m. officers were called to investigate a suspicious vehicle. The officers located the vehicle in question, a green 1004 Ford Mustang w/ Maryland tags 3EHV65, which was missing all four wheels. An NCIC check revealed that the car had been reported stolen out of LaPlata, Maryland. It was impounded for safekeeping and the owner and LaPlata PD were notified of the recovery.

3700 block of 37th Street: At about 5:50 p.m. officers responded for the report of a residential burglary. The officers’ investigation revealed that someone pried open a rear window to gain entry into the home sometime between 8:15 a.m. and 5:40 p.m. Once inside the thieves stole several items to include a TV, a DVD player and a laptop computer. The officers processed the scene for latent fingerprint evidence with negative results.

When he returned for the car today he discovered that it had been stolen. The officers had little to go on because the owner had recently purchased the car and had not yet registered it in his name. He also told the officers that he put a DC registration plate on the car that belonged on another car to avoid having it towed. There was no additional evidence found and no witness(es) could be identified.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.
