From the Police reports
A
44-year-old Chicago man faces charges of unlawful use of a firearm/vehicle,
delivery of cannabis (10-30 grams), possession of cannabis (10-30 grams),
possession of drug paraphernalia and driving on a suspended or revoked license.
The charges followed a traffic stop at which time Buffalo Grove police noticed the “faint
odor of cannabis” in the car. The drug
paraphernalia, cannabis, and a gun, an AMT .380 were discovered during a
routine search of the vehicle. The man, police say, did not have FOID card.
Credit card fraud -- A resident in the 1000
block of Providence Lane reported a fraudulent purchase at Best Buy, while a resident
in the 1400 of Camden Court reported two cases of fraud. In one case, a purchase was reported in Milwaukee
while in the other, more than $4,100 in purchases at the Apple store in Skokie
were reported using the replacement card that was reportedly sent by the
issuing bank to replace the card used in the previous cases.
Police are
investigating
a burglary in the 400 block of Marvins Way.
Police say entry was apparently gained through a lower level window. The
home was equipped with an alarm system, but it was not activated. An estimated
$20,000 worth of good were reported missing including jewelry and silver-plated
items.
A Des Plaines man was charged by Buffalo Grove police
with two counts of domestic battery following an incident at a gas station in
the 200 block of Milwaukee Avenue on Oct. 15. Police say the 26-year-old man
allegedly pulled a woman back into his car.
The woman, 27, also of Des Plaines was pregnant and told police she was
having trouble breathing. She was transported
to NWCH. Police say witnesses and a
surveillance video tape documented a scuffle between the two while at the gas
station. After the initial incident, the man told police that he drove to a
nearby parking garage because the woman was having a panic attack.
A 31-year-old Indiana woman working as a
live-in nanny was charged with one count of identity theft, on count of using a
forged credit card, forgery, and two counts of possession of a controlled
substance following a report by her employer of unlawful use of credit cards. A
subsequent search revealed the woman had stolen drivers’ license, social
security card, stolen checks and stolen purses in her possession.
A Buffalo Grove man reported more than
$8,600 in charges on a false Sprint account opened in his name.
