Strongsville Police Blotter: The Crime of Clean Windows

The following information was provided by the Strongsville police department

Residents on Olympus Way got a little suspicious when a man came to their house and cleaned the windows -- but they never hired anyone to do it.

A report said a relative who lives there saw the man June 14, but did not speak to him. She said he closed the slider door to clean it. 

He had the proper tools and did not try to get in the house, a report said. Police are checking to see if the man was hired by a neighbor and mixed up the addresses. In the meantime, they put the house on special attention.

A report said the anonymous letter was not threatening in nature.

Toddler on the Loose

A young child wearing only a diaper was spotted running in the street on Willow Wood Drive about 1:15 p.m. June 16. The woman who found the child tried to get her to show her where she lived, but the child could not.

Police located the mother, who said she and her other four children were all asleep. The door was unlocked, she said, because it was broken.

Not a Public Porch

A Lyon Lane resident told police she saw a man sitting on her neighbor's porch at 9 p.m. June 14. The homeowner did not recognize the man, who left when she turned on her porch light.

Theft from Rec Center

An iPod was stolen from a bench in the gym at the Ehrnfelt Recreation Center about 2 p.m. June 15.

Biker Down

A caller reported a man with a bike lying on the ground on Pearl Road near McDonald's about 8:40 p.m. June 13. When asked if she would go out and check to see if he was breathing, the woman declined.

Another report of the man down came in about 45 minutes later. Police found the man was highly intoxicated and called a rescue squad.

Vandalism Reported

A Jonathan Drive man told police he has had three different tires punctured in the last three weeks. In addition, his GPS was stolen.
