Pain at the pump
6:20 p.m. — 1000 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Civil Complaint. A woman pulled into a gas station, put a gas nozzle into her car then got back into the driver's seat and drove forward, breaking the nozzle from the pump, the gas station owner told police.
The driver said she stopped at pump number two but couldn’t read the display, so she got back into her car to move to another pump, forgetting to remove the last nozzle. The damage was valued at $350.

The writings on the wall
Noon — 1000 Block of North U.S. 1. Vandalism. An unkown vandal sprayed black paint graffiti on the outside of a business plaza, as well as on nearby roadside signs, one of the business owners in the plaza reported.
Only one company in the complex was equipped with outside security cameras, but the owner has yet to review the tape.
All windows and air conditioning units appeared to be OK, but the plaza owner had to hire a painter to cover the graffiti, which he estimated would cost $600. It is not known if the markings are gang related.
