When the officers arrived they stopped and detained two men who fit the description of the thieves. Further investigation revealed that these two did in fact attempt to break into the vehicle with the intent of stealing an IPod. They were arrested, charged accordingly and delivered to the custody of DOC in Hyattsville.

May 29th:

4500 block of Eastern Avenue: At about 2:45 pm officers received a call for a theft from auto at the BP Gas station. The victim told the officers that she was pumping gas and left her purse in the car with the window rolled down. She said she looked away for a second and when she looked back her purse was gone. She stated that she did not see anyone take her purse, however she did observed a black male about 16-20 years of age wearing a black hooded jacket walking near her vehicle just prior to the purse being taken. A search of the area for that individual proved negative and there was no evidence recovered.

3100 block of Perry Street: At about 3:30 pm officers took a missing person report. The mother of a 15 year old girl told the officers that her daughter failed to return home from school.

The suspect and the victim then fled the scene. The victim did not report the incident to police until about an hour after it occurred. He was uncooperative and really did not want to file a report.

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...
