Slashed and smashed

2:41 p.m., 300 block of Parkland Avenue

Property damage: A woman called police to report someone  smashed her windshield after her roommate called earlier in the morning to report her vehicle’s tires had been slashed. 

The windshield victim said she believes the damage to both vehicles was committed by the same person, a woman she knows 

"Needless to say,” the police report reads, “the two don’t like each other.”

The victim said the video doorbell captured an image of the suspected smasher and slasher arriving and leaving with another person, though no damage was done. She believes the two returned later and caused the damage, but no video evidence of that exists.

Talking Turkey

300 block of Golden Sands Drive

Criminal mischief: The owner of three Airbnb properties reported damage he believes was caused by renters. Over the course of the two prior weeks, the family had occupied all three properties, prompting numerous complaints from neighbors. In response, the owner revoked the rental agreement and, as a result, members of the family threatened to destroy the properties before leaving.

The owner reported that a flat screen TV had been damaged. He told police he had no last name for the renters but did have a first name of one of them, which he provided. The property owner only wanted the incident to be documented for insurance purposes. No further action was taken.

The officer investigated and saw none of the alleged graffiti. 

Upon questioning, the woman said she recently returned home from work and took several prescribed medications.

The complainant agreed that she will return his security deposit and no further action was taken.
