Deerfield Parkway that spilled over to the Woodman’s parking lot at 1550 E. Deerfield Parkway. Reports say one motorists reportedly approached the other’s car and reached inside, hitting the second motorist in the face and knocking off his glasses and damaging them. When police arrived the second motorist, say reports, “requested an apology and $100 (for bent eyeglasses) in lieu of seeking battery charges.

Ziah told officers that he was coming from a golf outing and had “a few drinks.  Had a beer and Jack.” Reports did not list a court date.

Criminal trespass to a vehicle – Police say a resident in the 900 block of Chaucer Way reported that someone broke into her car while it was parked in the driveway.  Reports say contents were strewn around the front yard. The resident did not recall if the vehicle was locked. Police say there were no signs of forced entry.

Vandals toss groceries – A resident in the 800 block of Woodhollow Lane contacted police after she “heard "thumping," on her house”  She told police that when she went outside, she discovered toilet paper, eggs, ketchup, shaving cream and a can of beans splattered across the back of her house, the roof and inside her air conditioning unit. Reports note that there was an extensive amount of assorted grocery products stuck to the walls and ceiling including an entire can of baked beans dumped inside of the air conditioning unit.

 

Halloween decorations trashed – A resident in the 400 block of Hawthorne Lane told police that he observed five juveniles running around the neighborhood knocking over Halloween decorations.

 

Auto break-in – A resident in the 1000 block of Brandywyn Lane told police his vehicle was entered as it was parked in his garage. Reports say the center console had been opened and a car charger was missing.

 

Liquor swiped – Police were summoned to the Walgreens at 15 N. Buffalo Grove Rd. after a man reportedly stole nine bottles of liquor.  Reports say the man grabbed a cart, headed to the liquor section, grabbed the liquor and left the store. Reportedly taken from the store was one bottle of Sauza Silver Tequila, two bottles of Jack Daniels Honey 750ML, one bottle of  Bulleit 95 Rye, two bottles of Basil Hayden’s, two bottles of Jameson Regular and one bottle of Jameson Regular. The value of the missing items was put at $278.

 

Also on the Walgreens beat – Employees at the Walgreens, 15 N. Buffalo Grove Rd., told police two men filled two large bags of make-up and ran out of the store without paying.  Employees told police they entered an “older sedan with tinted windows” and drove eastbound on Lake-Cook Road. No value of the stolen goods was available.

 

High-speed trespasser -- An employee at Kingwood United Methodist Church contacted police after he saw a white vehicle drive at a high rate of speed, estimated between 40 and 45 mph. The man said he went outside to attempt to ask the driver to slow down and when the vehicle came back through the parking lot it sped past him without stopping and exited eastbound onto Dundee Rd.

Police were told there has been an ongoing issue of vehicles speeding through the parking lot to get to the subdivision behind the church. Reports say the church installed gates across the driveways on Parkview Terrace because someone kept cutting the chains that were up.

Cops probe robbery, theft / Caregivers program set / Adopt a storm drain

Robbery under investigation – Police responded to a report of a robbery at the PNC Bank, 1177 W. Lake-Cook Road. Reports say the victim was walking in the parking lot towards the bank entrance as the offender grabbed a pouch and wallet out of his hand. Witnesses said a male subject, dressed in black, exited a dark sedan in the parking lot, and ran toward the victim snatching the items, and then ran back to the car.

The subject entered the back seat and the car turned left onto southbound Arlington Heights Road. Witnesses told police that things happened so quickly they were unable to get a detailed description of the offender or the vehicle.

They described the offender as wearing black pants, a black top and a black cap. The vehicle was described only as a black sedan.

The pouch contained assorted checks, cash, credit cards, and identification. Officials from PNC Bank and nearby businesses were alerted to the incident and will be reviewing their security footage.

Wallet stolen – A woman told police that someone stole her clutch out of her purse while she was shopping at the Jewel at  79 N. McHenry Rd. The woman told police she was in the yogurt aisle when a white male, approximately 5'3", came up to her and asked her a question about the fat content inside a yogurt. The victim told police that she believes it was at that time that her bright red clutch was taken out of her purse. She did not recall what the person was wearing.

Reports say that while she was driving home, she received fraud notifications from First National bank of Omaha for a possible fraudulent transaction of $954.61 at the Wheeling Target. Responding officers went to Jewel for follow-up, but the store did not have any cameras in the yogurt aisle. Officers also visited Target where store officials were able to locate the transaction for $954.61 that was done at the self check-out register. The offender was attempting to purchase two bottles of Dasani 20-ounce water bottles and one $500 Target gift card and one $450 Target gift card. Reports say the offender attempted to use four different credit cards, all of which were declined.

According to police, the offender was white male wearing a black and gray ball cap, eyeglasses, black vest, white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black/white shoes.

AC damaged -- A resident in the 900 block of Thompson reported to police that his air conditioning unit was damaged, apparently by vandals.

According to police, it appeared as if the pipes and unit were kicked due to the small surface area of damage.

Candle copped -- A resident in the 100 block of Oak Creek Drive reported that a FedEx package was stolen from the lobby of her building. The package contained a “Yankee Candle” valued at $15.80. ·
