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.
