IN THIS EDITION: Liquor swiped, drive-in Bingo planned, Bags League offered

Police Reports

Lotta liquor – A manager at the Walgreens, 15 N. Buffalo Grove Road, told police two subjects left the store concealing 24 bottles of alcohol in their clothing and made physical contact with her shoulder as they left the store. The estimated value of the stolen alcohol is over $500.00

Speaking of Walgreens -- Police reports that an employee contacted them to say that a customer attempted to exchange a fake $100 bill for a small purchase and change. The customer left the store prior to officers arriving.

Car damaged – A resident told police that he returned to his parked vehicle and found his side middle window broken. The complainant reported nothing was missing from the vehicle.

Suspicious vehicle, circumstance – A resident in the 100 block of Manchester Lane told police that a vehicle with a male occupant was parked near his residence while his daughters played in the front yard. He said that the vehicle drove off after he came outside. Officers checked the area but were not able to locate the vehicle.

Monty Hall would be proud – A contractor contacted police to say the homeowner who hired him to complete some construction work, was refusing to pay him. Officers mediated the situation, and the homeowner agreed to a reduced amount. Reports didn’t say if the offer was behind door No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3. It’s a generational thing.
