4500 block of 32nd Street: At about 9:50 am officers took a theft report. The victim told the officers that sometime between June 5th and June 7th someone stole a laptop computer. The victim was unsure of how to handle the incident thus the delay in reporting it to police.

3300 block of Rhode Island Avenue (Party Time): At about 11:15 am officers responded to a reported theft in progress. Witnesses pointed out a man who was leaving the store with merchandise he did not pay for. Officers stopped the man outside the store and found him in possession of the stolen merchandise.

3200 block of Queenstown Drive: At about 8 am officers took a report of an attempted auto theft. The victim told the officers that at about 7 am he saw two black males attempting to gain entry to his vehicle, eventually succeeding in getting the passenger door open. When he started to yell at the two men they ran off. The victim’s vehicle was found to have the ignition removed and the stereo stolen. A search of the area for the two suspects was negative.

3500 block of 37th Street: At about 11 am officers on patrol checked out a suspicious dark blue van. They discovered that the van’s registration was flagged by MVA and there was an MSP pick up order issued for the license plates. The plates were removed for return to MVA and the van was impounded.

Once the cab got to the Queenstown area the man asked the driver to stop. When he did the man implied that he had a handgun under his shirt and demanded the driver’s money and watch.
