Battery, burglary keep cops busy
From
the Police Reports
A 30-year-old Buffalo Grove man was charged with
battery by Buffalo Grove Police after an incident with another man in the
restroom at a Shell gas station in the 1200 block of north Arlington Heights
Road. The man was also issued a trespassing warning.
Police are investigating a burglary in the 0
-100 block of River Oaks Circle after the resident told police that they
returned home to find the front door ajar and some areas of the home ransacked.
They also found the rear sliding door had been forced open. The residents said
some jewelry was missing as was $40 in USC.
Police are investigating attempted thefts from the
Walgreens at Buffalo Grove and Lake-Cook roads. Police reports indicate store employees
observed a customer try to steal a collection of over the counter drugs
including Excedrin, Tylenol, Bayer Claritin, and Zyrtec which were all on shelf
display. When confronted by store employees, the person dropped the items and
left.
The
store also reported a theft on March 10. Reported missing was NicoDerm and
Nicorette products. Security video indicated two people involved, a male white
in his 20s or 30s and a female white in her 20s or 30s.
An Arlington Heights man told police she
was being tailgated and after brake checking, he stopped to talk to the driver
who got scared and drove over the sidewalk to keep from talking to the man.
A 66-year-old Buffalo Grove woman
told police she was contacted by who she thought was the computer service
company she had previously used. The call, police reports say, wanted to refund
the service charge on her bank account. The woman was told $6,000 was deposited
instead of $60. To make up the difference, the woman was told to purchase
$5,000 in Walmart gift cards, which she did.
A BG business contacted police
after noticing that the company’s Home Depot account had been compromised with
more than $6,400 of fraudulent purchases on the account.
A resident told police that a bag
containing medical marijuana was found in his mailbox. The bag contained a
container of Corleone Kush, two flash drives, two pipes and a C02 cartridge. The
resident said he never ordered them.
The owner of an Asian restaurant
reported harassing phone calls during which the caller asked if they had “black
rice” and if they put “cat” in the fried rice. The caller also asked for items
not on the menu and mocked the accent of the employees.
A BG man told police he received a call from
“someone he thought was a friend” telling him to check a website for lottery
winnings. The emailer apparently told the man to purchase $400 in i-Tune gift
cards from Walmart, which he did, but not before he realized it was a scam.
