Police Logs for April 25 and 26

Wednesday, April 25

6:23 a.m.: What started as a vandalism to motor vehicle call turned out to be much more. Three cars were parked in the driveway of a Woodside Road residence: a 2007 BMW, a 1998 Cadillac Seville and a 2004 Audi had each been entered by unwelcomed parties. The BMW had $30 in change taken. There was evidence that the Cadillac had been entered, but nothing taken. The Audi had nothing taken from it, but the steering column was broken in half, indicating that someone tried to steal the car. Resident heard loud banging or hammering at 11:30 p.m. the night before but assumed it was neighbors working on their house. It now appears that this is when the attempted larceny took place. Investigation is ongoing.
