Not a good hiding place
7:36 p.m. — First Block of Riverside Drive
Car Break. The victim said the driver-door window had been smashed out of her Lexus and her purse taken. Nothing else was disturbed. She had hidden her purse under the floor mat.
Not doing anything ... yet
7:12 p.m. — 200 Block of South Atlantic Avenue
Suspicious Incident. The motel manager was about to tell someone passing out flyers to leave the property when he saw two suspicious males standing near a room. He yelled, “What are you guys doing?”
They began to walk away, carrying a crowbar and screwdriver, saying they were not doing anything.
They ran down the stairs and the manager saw them running down the street.
None of the doors had pry marks.
Honest answer
3:30 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard
Grand Theft. The officer arrested a shoplifting suspect and asked what he was doing in the store. The suspect said he was making stupid decisions. He was arrested for theft.
Should have tried it first
3:45 p.m. — 200 Block of Williamson Boulevard
Vandalism. The victim parked in the movie theater parking lot. She had brand new, wooden furniture in the truck bed, but it is completely covered by a hard top.
She emerged from the theater later and saw damage to the tail gate. The officer noted it appeared to be made by a prying tool of some sort and the rubber seal was damaged. Nothing was taken from the truck.
The victim said she had left the tailgate unlocked.
Getting cleaned out
5:08 p.m. — 400 Block of South Atlantic Avenue
Burglary. The housekeeper at the motel saw a suspicious man outside the laundry room, so went back down to the office. She asked the manager if she had rented a room to the suspect and the manager said no, so they both went up to the laundry room.
The suspect said he was just washing his clothes. The manager said it was private property and asked how he found out about the laundry room.
At that point, another male suspect emerged from the laundry room wearing a backpack and exited down the beachside stairway.
The first suspect said he would leave when is laundry was done.
The motel workers went down to the office to call police and saw the suspects leave in a white vehicle. They went back upstairs to check the machines and found the dryer coin box to be empty. The washer was running, but just contained water.
The dryer did not have pry marks, so it was opened with a key or picked.
