MALICIOUS MISCHIEF: A city resident told police at 4:46 a.m. Sept. 18 all the potted plants from a porch had been thrown into the yard. The item was for information only, as the mess had already been cleaned up. Police patrolled the area and found no other damage done.
SHOPLIFTER CAUGHT: Police responded the morning of Sept. 18 to a Roosevelt Avenue address, looking for the suspect in a theft incident who fled on a pink bicycle.

THEFT: Police took two calls the afternoon of Sept. 18 regarding residential thefts. An American flag was taken from a Garfield Street address while batteries were taken from a camping trailer on Stevenson Avenue.
