From the Police reports

Police are investigating a break-in in the 100 block of Manchester Drive.  According to police reports, a caretaker for the home discovered items out of place and drawers opened.  Reports say the door to the unit had been pried open.

What appeared to be a simple fender bender escalated to a confrontation between drivers.  Police reports say a driver was attempting to make a left turn lane into (Jewel center) when his vehicle was struck by another.  After the cars pulled out of traffic, police reports say one driver attacked the other by scratching his face and head and biting his finger. He then called the man, an Asian, the N word. The driver who hit the car made a U-turn on Lake-Cook and fled the scene.

Police were called to a Buffalo Grove company to take a complaint from a female employee after  she got into a scuffle with coworkers.  According to police, a woman entered  the locker room at the company  when she was blocked by three women who were dancing.  They asked the woman to join in, but she declined.  At some point the women bumped into each other and pushing ensued.  According to police reports, the woman who entered the room got scared and tried to hide behind two other women. She told police that one woman punched her in the heard.  No injuries were reported and charged were not filed.

A resident reported to police that after getting a “blue screen” on his computer, he received phone solicitations for computer repair. After giving access to the caller, who said he was from Advanced Identity Protection, he was told the cost would range between $250 for two years to $700 for lifetime protection.  Police say they called the company but did not receive a response.
