Civil Complaint. Police received a complaint of construction in a parking lot. Upon arrival, officers saw that three spaces were occupied by woodworking activity by a business owner, and the lot was only one-quarter full of vehicles.

Suspicious witness
5:10 a.m. — 1000 Block of West Granada Boulevard
Vandalism. Police dispatch received a call from someone who identified himself as Jacob, then Jimmy. He said he saw two suspects running away from some businesses after he heard glass breaking.
The investigating officer found four broken windows in two office buildings. There was a coquina rock fragment under one window. It did not appear that there was intent to commit burglary, because the broken areas were not near access to internal locks.
While investigating, Jacob/Jimmy called to ask if police found a skate board. The officer called the number and reached a male, who said his name was Jacob, but the signal was weak and the call was dropped.
The officer conducted a search, and found that Jacob’s number was linked to a person with a different name who had been a subject in a recent vandalism investigation.
The officer then saw a male skateboarding down the sidewalk. The officer made contact, and the skater admitted to being the caller. He said he used a false name because he didn’t want his real name involved.
He said he lives around the corner and heard glass breaking. He said he peered over to the businesses and saw two suspects running. He completed a written statement but did not have a description of the suspects.
