You want my brother

12:18 p.m. — First Block of Ocean Shore Boulevard  

False Name Given; Operating with Suspended License. An officer stopped a car because a tag number search showed the registration had been suspended.

The driver said he did not have his driver’s license but he was valid out of Ohio. He provided his name, but a computer check showed no driver’s license registered in Ohio.

The officer asked if he had a wallet, and the suspect said he had his brother’s wallet because he grabbed the wrong one that morning. The wallet had an ID with a different first name and same last name.

In a post-Miranda interview, he said he lied about his identity because his license was suspended, and he didn’t want to get arrested.

His license had been suspended for failure to pay a traffic fine.

By the way, I’m a professional

12:13 p.m. — First Block of Hickory Hills Circle  

Burglary. The victim said he met the suspect on Criagslist. They decided to meet for a date at the victim’s house, and they left to go to dinner.

In the car, the suspect said she was a junky, addicted to heroin, and propositioned the suspect for sex. He told her he was alarmed that she was a prostitute and dropped her off.

After returning home, he received a text message on his phone that was apparently not intended for him. The message said, “Pretend to be interested in the house and be safe. Do a good walk around and let me know what he has.”

The next morning, the victim noticed that all six screens in the back and sides of the house had been removed from the windows. He also found a pry bar. No damage was done to the windows.

No license now, or ever

9:16 a.m. — 800 Block of South Nova Road  

No Valid Driver’s License. The suspect’s car was pulled over because the passenger was seen not wearing a seat belt.

The officer asked the driver if he had his license, and he said he did not have a license and had never been issued one in his lifetime. He said he was only driving his friend somewhere and does not drive all the time.

A computer search showed that the driver had a criminal history in seven states, and he was arrested.

It just takes a second

11:34 p.m. — First Block of Pinecrest Avenue

Car Break. The victim said she pulled her car up to her house and was taking property into the house with the engine running. When she walked back outside, she saw two suspects in the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat. She screamed for them to get out of the car, and they started running down the street.

She could hear them leave in another car, saying she heard the tires squeal, but she did not see the car.
