During the evening, unknown suspects entered a residence 
in the 100 block of Grove Street through an unlocked garage

removed jewelry and a lap computer. The resident reported 
that one day earlier he had been approached by a solicitor 
claiming to represent a pest control company.

Between the hours of 9:30am and 2:00pm, an unknown suspect 
entered a residence in the 100 block of North Lima Street 
by climbing into an unlocked kitchen window. An upended 
trash can by the window suggested that the suspect used this 
as a step stool to assist in his entry. The suspect ransacked 
portions of the interior and removed two laptop computers, 
jewelry and old coins. The suspect then exited the residence 
via the front door. 

Later that day another residential burglary occurred in the 
800 block of Canyon Crest Drive. Between the hours of 1pm 
and 4:30pm, an unknown suspect entered the residence by 
smashing the window portion of a kitchen door located on 
the side of the structure. Once inside, the suspect(s) looked 
into several drawers and cabinets and removed heirloom silverware. 
A missing pillow case suggested that the suspect 
use this to carry the stolen property. The owner stated that 
his good natured dog, which was present inside the house, 
did not provide a deterrent.

next morning observed a dark, two door sedan type vehicle 
driving away from the lot. He was unable to obtain a
