A little Saturday night golfing and ice cream
10:05 p.m. — Neptune Avenue and Triton Road. Suspicious Incident. Responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle, an officer saw an unoccupied Dodge Charger sitting in front of a construction site. The officer called the owner, who said her son had the vehicle last, and she had no idea why he would park it there. The son (suspect) arrived later, and he told the officers that he and his two friends parked there because it was under a light, and they were going to walk out onto the golf course.
The officer made contact with the friends, who were at an ice cream shop on Granada Boulevard, and they said they were going onto the golf course to look for balls but stopped when the suspect's mother called to ask what they were doing.

I’m only sleeping
1:50 p.m. — 1200 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Vandalism. The victim said he found a lock on the shed behind the church, so he pulled it off. He said he didn’t call police because he figured someone was sleeping there, since nothing was stolen. A week later, the victim got to church to find the shed doors open. Again, nothing was stolen.

And knowing is half the battle
9:20 a.m. — 200 Block of Hidden Hills Drive. Vandalism. The victim reported that a package containing Florida State University decals and a shirt was stolen from her front stoop. The company that shipped the merchandise said they would consider it a loss and would send a new package.
A couple of days after the theft, the victim found an open package of lollipops in her backyard. This might be related, she told police. The next day, the package was gone. She said there are children that play in a basketball court behind her residence. Now you know, you she told police.

Can I have my fake IDs back?
3:08 p.m. — 400 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Fraud. The bank teller said the suspect approached the counter and presented a withdrawal slip for $4,650, an Arizona driver’s license with the victim’s information and a phony credit card with the victim’s information. The teller, who was from Arizona, recognized the license and the card as fake.
The teller began to check the account information. The suspect asked for the license and credit card back, but the teller denied his request. The suspect then fled, heading across Granada Boulevard. The teller notified surrounding bank branches about the attempted fraud and put a hold on the victim’s account.
Two fraudulent transactions had been made on the account. A copy of the surveillance tape was provided to police.
