Police Blotter: Hoarder Loses Track of Guns; Man Sitting in Tree

A Howe Road man told police at least two guns seem to be missing from his house, although he said he isn't sure -- he is a hoarder.

The man told police Friday he noticed the weapons were missing. He said they could still be in the house or a family member may have them.

He said his house has been condemned and wanted police to be aware he doesn't know where the guns are.

Items Disappear from House

Someone appears to be slipping into a Fair Road house and stealing small and insignificant items like clothing and jewelry.

A couple told police they believe a previous renter may be using a key to get in.

They changed the locks and said they will call back if it continues.

Man in Tree

A caller reported a man sitting in the fork of a tree on Benbow Road near Boston Road about 9 a.m. Sunday.

The man was in his 30s or 40 and had a beard, the caller said.

He wasn't there when police arrived.

Light Posts Damaged

Lamp posts in front yards on Sassafras Drive, Glenbrook Drive and Rosalee Lane were damaged Friday night.

Reports noted one incident on Sassafras, two on Glenbrook and three on Rosalee.

Burglary

A burglary was reported on Idlewood Trail Sunday.

A report said the intruder got in through the back door.

Syringe Found

Someone found a syringe stuck in the ground near the creek behind the clubhouse on Golden Star Drive Sunday afternoon.

Police delivered it to the main fire station for safe disposal.
