That’s berry illegal

Sept. 2
Subtle break and then entering
9:31 a.m. — 400 Block of Cherrywood Drive
Burglary. The victim said she had fraudulent charges on her credit card and her father was missing $50 from his wallet. She felt it might be related to an earlier incident.
Two weeks ago, she found lawn furniture pushed down and relocated under a garage door window. She also noticed one side of the window ledge was wiped clean.
Due to the timing of the charges on her card, and the missing money, the victim believes the theft occurred while the family was sleeping in the home.
The officer examined the suspected window, and found a small pen-point hole near the latch. The victim said she had not noticed it. The latch had fresh scratch marks as if someone pushed an object through the hole to push the latch open. The ledge on the inside of the window was clean of any debris, only on the side that opens.
It appeared that someone gained entry to the garage and then the unlocked door from the garage to the house. The thief had apparently taken the credit cards from a purse in the kitchen and taken the cash from the dresser next to the victim’s bed.
The victims placed an object on the garage window to prevent it from being opened in the future.
