Crime Report: July 6-12, 2012
This week we had one home burglary and no UBEVs (Unlawful Breaking and Entering Vehicles).
The home burglary occurred on Spring Valley Road between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on June 26. (I don’t know why it took this long to report the offense.) According to the victim, two white males and two white females were doing yard work at his house. At some point these individuals entered his home and took computers, musical equipment and many other valuable items. The homeowner has obtained information that these thieves traded these items for heroin at a dope house. They have been identified and will be arrested.
