Police Report: December 4-6

Friday December 4th:

4200 block of Kaywood Drive: At about 8 am officers took a report of a stolen vehicle. The owner of a red 1996 Ford F150 pickup truck (expired DC tags AD2468) told the officers that he came out to his truck this morning to discover that it had been stolen sometime during the previous night. There was no evidence found at the scene that would lead to the identification of those responsible for the theft.

3600 block of Wells Avenue: At about 6 p.m. officers issued a criminal citation to a man observed urinating in public.

2300 block of Arundel Road (Grand China): At about 7 p.m. officers issued a criminal citation to a man observed drinking an alcoholic beverage in a public place.

Russell Avenue & Arundel Road: While issuing the criminal citation listed above, officers observed a white Lincoln Continental driving down Russell Avenue with no headlights. As the vehicle approached the officers could clearly hear loud music blaring from the vehicle. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was issued three State traffic citations for driving without headlights, driving with blue lights visible from the front of the vehicle and for the loud music violation.

3300 block of Buchanan Street: At about 7 p.m. officers responded for the report of an attempted residential burglary. He resident told the officers that when he returned home he discovered that someone had tried to get into his apartment through a small bathroom window. They were apparently unsuccessful because the resident could not find any of his property disturbed or missing. The window was processed for latent evidence with negative results. No other evidence or witnesses could be located.

2500 block of Queens Chapel Road: At about 10:20 p.m. officers from the Prince George’s County Police responded for a homicide. When they arrived they discovered a man in a hallway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Further investigation resulted in the arrest of two individuals who were charged with the crime. This homicide was reported in various media outlets as having occurred in Mount Rainier when it in fact happened outside the City in an unincorporated area of Hyattsville.

3300 block of Buchanan Street: At about 11:15 p.m. officers on patrol came upon an injured man lying in the street bleeding from his nose and head. The officers summoned fire/rescue personnel who treated the man on the scene and then transported him to Prince George’s Hospital for further treatment. The officers interviewed him at the hospital and he told them that all he could remember was that he was attacked from behind and beaten. He could not give any sort of description of the person(s) who attacked him and caused his injuries. The officers, along with PGPD robbery detectives, could not determine if the man had been the victim of a robbery other than being assaulted. A follow-up investigation will be conducted when the victim recovers sufficiently from his injuries in hopes that he will remember additional details.

Crime Prevention Tip: Car Alarms

I received this earlier today courtesy of CPL Jim Flynn of the Bladensburg Police Department: For those of you who have a vehicle that has a remote entry device, you may also have a handy burglar/emergency alarm that you probably don’t think about. 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...
