July 25
Boot Bandit strikes fisherman’s home
9:04 p.m. — 100 Block of Canham Street. Burglary Residential. A victim advised that his home was broken into sometime while he away. He advised that he lives in Georgia and comes down to fish on weekends, and that the last time he was at this residence was on July 19.
When he returned to the residence on July 25, he discovered a broken bedroom window with a footprint in the dirt beneath the window. It appeared to be the footprint of a 10- to 12-inch cowboy boot with a 2-inch-wide heel. There was dirt on the carpet and bed inside the residence, but an attempt to lift for fingerprints was met with negative results.
The only items that the victim advised to be missing were two bottles of Finest Call brand banana drink valued at $8 each and a bottle of champagne valued at $5. There are no suspects at this time.
Smash and grab
3:40 p.m. — First Block of Greenway Court. Larceny from Auto. A victim advised she had arrived at Linear Park at approximately 3 p.m. to take photos of the scenery. She left her purse secured in her vehicle, and when she returned 20 minutes later she observed the front passenger side window to her vehicle had been smashed out, and her purse had been stolen. The purse contained several credit cards, as well as her driver’s license. An attempt to lift prints was met with negative results.
Burning a hole in your pocket
2:54 p.m. — 4000 Block of Belle Terre Parkway. Larceny from Auto. A victim advised that on July 22 he went to his girlfriend’s house and parked his vehicle on Parkview Drive, possibly leaving it unlocked. He did not return to the vehicle until 4 a.m. Monday, July 23, at which time he discovered a small fire on the ground next to his car. He put the fire out and noticed a note on his windshield. The note read: “Next time don’t leave your car unlocked.”
At this time, the victim inspected the fire he put out and realized that it was his wallet. The wallet had contained his credit card, Social Security card and driver’s license. When asked why he waited so long to report the incident, the victim stated that he didn’t know what he should do when someone breaks into his car and sets his wallet on fire.
