Police Blotter: Beer Stolen, But Only Cans Recovered; Who's Walking Around in Library?

Police were called to the shortly before noon Sunday on a report of someone walking around inside -- an hour before it was supposed to open.

Police found the lights off, but the doors open and no one inside -- visitor or employee.

Officers contacted library supervisors, one of whom arrived to walk through the building with police. 

Nothing appeared to be out of place, a report said.

Garage, Car Broken Into

A resident of North Meadows Lane found his garage -- and a car inside -- had been broken into about 9:45 p.m. Sunday.

Taken were a backpack containing tools and a flashlight, as well as about 30 beers from a refrigerator.

The victim called back later to say he had found the backpack, tools and beer containers in the trash at nearby Allen School. The only thing missing was the beer itself.

No One Home But the Fridge

Someone stole appliances from a vacant house on Albion Road.

The theft was reported April 27.

Time to Go

Employees at restaurant on Pearl Road called police about 3 p.m. April 27 because a man was in the bathroom and wouldn't leave.

The restaurant closed at 2, but the man was still in the restroom, a report said.

Police said the man was in the restroom an unusually long time, but agreed to leave and went out to catch a bus.

Suspicious Situation

A resident of Sand Creek Circle went out to close the garage door about 11:30 p.m. Saturday and saw someone in a hoodie standing by the garage, talking on a cell phone.

The person took off running when he was spotted.

Police checked the area, but couldn't find the lurker.
