Police Report: September 22-23

September 22nd:

4100 block of 34th Street: At about 2:40 pm officers took a report of a theft. The victim/owner of a 2008 black Baja scooter told the officers that at about midnight on September 20th he chained the scooter to a police outside his residence. About four hours later he noticed that the chain had been cut and the scooter had been stolen.

4600 block of 29th Street: At about 6 pm officers assisted fire/rescue personnel of Engine Co. 855 with forcing entry into an unoccupied apartment due to a possible fire. Once inside firefighters discovered a pot of food burning on the stove top. The fire was quickly extinguished and apartment management was notified to secure the apartment.

September 23rd (early morning):

3200 block of Chillum Road (7-11): At about 1:40 am officers were flagged down by a citizen who told them that a highly intoxicated man had just come out of the 7-11 and was possibly going to try and drive his car. The officers located the man described by the citizen standing outside his car and were able to convince him that it was not in his best interest to try and drive home. He took a cab home and the officers impounded his vehicle for safekeeping.
