Crime Reports July 23 – 29
SKULDUGGERY OF THE WEEK: HOT BOX
Highland Park residents can’t even allow their garages to cool down because of the threat of being burglarized, a homeowner in the 4600 block of Livingston Avenue recently learned. Around 5:55 p.m. July 25, the homeowner said she returned home and left the back alley garage door open to “allow the heat to dissipate.” When she returned about 20 minutes later, several storage cabinets and a closet door had been opened and a Titleist golf bag and laser range finder, valued at $2,000, were stolen. The household’s 2007 BMW M5 also was rummaged through during the burglary, and police are hoping the vehicle’s Smart Start breathalyzer with a camera may have snapped a portrait of the culprit.
