Woman Arrested After Caught Trying to Burglarize Home
Police arrested a 44-year-old woman on Aug. 2 after she was caught trying to allegedly burglarize a President Street home.
The 36-year-old man who lived in the home told police that between 11:40 p.m. and 11:50 p.m., someone was seen in the home, trying to take property. Police arrested Lena Davis, who allegedly had burglar tools on her, as well as a glass pipe with crack cocaine residue. Davis also had an active bench warrant for her arrest.
Thousands in Property Snatched From Lincoln Place Home
Some lucky person or persons made off with more than $4,000 in property taken from a Lincoln Place apartment.
The victim told police she left her apartment at 9:30 p.m. on July 28 to go to a bar, leaving her front bedroom window open. The woman came back at 1 a.m. and went to bed. When she woke up, she realized $4,059 in property was missing, including her MacBook Pro, an instrument, her sunglasses, a bottle of whiskey and a purple flower plant. She told police the window was in the same place when she returned.
A possible hand smudge was found on the window and a foot print was found on a garbage can cover on the garbage pale located directly outside the woman's window. A neighbor who was home did not see or hear anything suspicious.
