Neighbor Choked, Items Stolen, House Egged

A sampling of police blotter items from April 23-26.

Apparently, the person who stole from a Darrow Road man didn’t have the same taste in movies and music as the victim.

A Darrow Road resident reported to his unlocked car was opened and a $200 GPS system was taken, as well as $15 in cash. However, the CDs and DVDs in the victim’s car were not taken, but collected and placed in the glove box of the car. In this situation, theft is a first-degree misdemeanor and criminal mischief is a third-degree misdemeanor.
