The reporting person told the officers that a Dewalt saw valued at $180.00 had been stolen from inside a secured storage area. There was no evidence of forced entry or damage to the door/locks. Only one individual had keys to the area at the time of incident and officers will be following up to see what involvement, if any, he had in the theft.

2700 block of Arundel Road: At about 7:20 pm officers stopped a silver colored GMC that they observed leaving the Gran China parking lot at a high rate of speed and the driver not wearing a seatbelt.
