Thieves make off with makeup / Cambridge Commons coming down / School crosswalk concerns aired

 Thieves make off with makeup – Police report that two people stole more than $2,900 of facial products from the CVS Pharmacy, 20 E. Dundee Road. The manager told police that a female came into the store and distracted his employee. As she was distracting the employee, a male came in and went to the facial aisle. Reports say he was in the aisle for approximately five minutes and took several items and placed them into a bag. Once he put the items into the bag, both subjects left the store without paying.

Liquor swiped -- Police report that an unknown male allegedly stole 13 various bottles of liquor valued at $602.63 from the Woodman’s Food Market, 1550 Deerfield Parkway. The man reportedly fled southbound on Milwaukee Ave in a gray four-door Toyota.


“Rude man” irks gas customer -- Police were summoned to the Woodman’s gas station, 1500 Deerfield Parkway, after a woman reported she was confronted by an elderly man, saying he was “very rude and used numerous profanities while yelling at her to move out of his way.”  Reports say the woman told gas station attendant  who came outside to her location and told the man to leave. The woman said she was not injured during the confrontation and provided police with a picture she took of the man’s vehicle and license plate as he left the area. The attendant told police she was going to inform her manager of what had happened because this was the second time she had seen the same subject causing a problem with other customers.

Police were able to locate the man and his vehicle near his residence Police say he acknowledged being involved in the earlier incident at the Woodman's Gas Station. He told police that he yelled at the woman to move because she appeared to be talking on her cell phone when she should have been dispensing gasoline into her vehicle. The man told officers he had been involved in another dispute with a subject at the Woodman's but did not remember exactly what took place. Reports say the man was “admonished for his behavior and issued him a trespass warning.”


Porch theft – A resident on Mill Creek Drive reported to police that a package, delivered by  Amazon, containing ear buds was taken from their front porch.  The value was $50.
