Fun and run

1:20 p.m. — First Block of West Granada Boulevard

Vandalism. Two males and a female entered a restaurant. The female went to sit at the bar while the two males went immediately to the restroom. After four minutes, the males emerged from the bathroom and the female jumped off her stool and left with them. All three started running west on Granada Boulevard.

The restroom had been vandalized, with black paint used to write graffiti all over the walls and TV screen.

The employees said they had no issues with the suspects and do not know why they would vandalize the bathroom.

Multitasking can be problematic

11:06 a.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard

Petit Theft. The store employee saw the suspect take items from the shelf and place them in a purse she also took from the shelves. At the checkout, she transferred earrings from the purse to her own purse.

She admitted that she took the earrings, but said it was by accident because she was multitasking with her phone and other things.

She was given a notice to appear in court.

‘Friends’ around the fire

10:05 a.m. — 1100 Block of North U.S. 1 

Lost Property. The victim said she had been sitting by the campfire at a bar from 6 to 10 p.m. She said she was sitting by a tall blond woman and her purse never left her side. She noticed that the front zipper pocket was open but she didn’t know if she had left it open.

The next morning, she noticed her driver’s license, two debit cards and two credit cards were missing.

She needed a police report because she had no identification and planned to fly out at the end of the week.

Just scan the top items

Petit Theft. The store employee watched as the suspect placed some makeup items in her purse in the child’s seat section of the cart. She then went to the food section and placed a steak in the purse.
