On April 4, a homeowner arrived home in the 1200 block of
Maple Street, and discovered her living room window had been broken. Many
personal items were rifled through, and she found other possessions were
missing. She talked to her neighbor who works from home. He said that about 15
minutes earlier he saw a man park in front of her house. He lost sight of the
man due to foliage that blocked his view of the front door. The man soon reappeared
carrying a white box, entered his car and left.
The man is described as a white, about 30-40 years-old, 5’-8”
tall with a beard. The associated vehicle is a white four-door medium sized
passenger car.
The white box the man carried was a small fire safe
containing several hundred dollars of jewelry that were family heirlooms.
All too often an activity can seem suspicious but observers
of the activity do not call 911. It can be difficult to know for sure if an
activity is suspicious or a crime in progress. But police officers and Sheriff’s
deputies are more than happy to come to a call of suspicious activity and find
that there was not a crime in progress. They are elated, to come to a call of
suspicious activity and capture a burglar in the act. They are frustrated to
find out that they just missed a crime in progress because someone did not call
911. If you see suspicious activity, even if in doubt, call 911.
