Unknown man seen getting into vehicle

Police responded to a house in the 6300 block of Calhoun Jan. 2 after an unknown man was seen getting into a black Dodge Ram pickup truck near the caller’s vehicle.

The caller told officers that on two operate occasions that day an unknown man was standing by his Jeep parked in his driveway. According to the report, the man was described as possibly being of Yemen decent due to his dark skin and Arabic language spoken.

Initially, the caller’s mother noticed the man on the driver’s side of the Jeep several hours before the call was made. Then, the caller’s brother noticed the man standing on the passenger side of the Jeep and asked what he wanted. The man said he was waiting for a ride then ran over to a waiting black Dodge Ram, got in and the vehicle drove away north on Calhoun.

A police officer advised the caller that he was working until 7 a.m. that day and would be on the lookout for the vehicle or unknown man. A check of the area yielded negative results.

Possible vehicle larceny reported by employee

Police responded to Little Caesars, 3853 Monroe, April 22 after an employee reported that two unknown people lifted a car door handle in the parking lot.

The employee said that the pair did not enter the vehicle because it was locked. She also said they earlier made a mess in the store and argued with her over the mess.

She told police the two left westbound on Dartmouth after lifting the door handle, and that a third person with the pair left eastbound on Dartmouth but did not lift car door handles.

Police made contract with the third person who said he and the two others argued with the employee about making a mess in the store. He added that one of the two lifted the handle on the vehicle believing it was his because he drives a white sedan, which was parked nearby in the same parking lot.

The third person told police that when the man realized it wasn’t his vehicle he located his and left with the other person.
