SKULDUGGERY OF THE WEEK: WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The Shops at Highland Park’s newest tenants had an unwelcoming welcome to the shopping center. Around 2:30 p.m. June 8 both a Hush Hush Tan employee and the owner reported to police their vehicles had been burglarized. The front passenger window of an employee’s 2017 Nissan Murano was busted between 12:15 p.m. and when she called the police, and two wallets were stolen. The owner of the shop also reported that the passenger door glass from her 2011 Toyota 4-Runner also was busted and her purse was stolen from the front seat.

HIGHLAND PARK

3 Tuesday

If you saw a purple Chrysler 300 on fire just before 7 p.m. at the intersection of Airline Road and Mockingbird Lane, then we have a story to tell you. Apparently, the car had fake dealer plates and was assumed to be involved in a series of crimes. While that opinion hasn’t necessarily panned out for police, they did find out that the vehicle was involved in an earlier hit and run case. Unfortunately, the driver and passenger seen in the vehicle fled the blazing scene before police arrived.
