Burglary
On 7/27/11 at approximately 2:10 PM, police responded to a single-family residence on Virginia Avenue on a report of a burglary. The victim told police that she had left the house on that date at 10:30 AM. When she returned a little over three hours later, she discovered that a screen had been removed from a window on the porch and the window had been opened.

The victim then checked the residence and discovered that four watches had been stolen from a jewelry box on a second floor bedroom. The victim could only say that one of the watches was a Bulova brand watch. Police later spoke to a neighbor who stated that at approximately 11:00 AM on that date, two individuals had rung her doorbell, asking “Is Aaron here?” The neighbor replied that no one by that name lived there and the males walked west on Virginia Avenue. The pair were described as black males in their late teens to early twenties and both last seen wearing blue jeans. One of the individuals was also last seen wearing a blue shirt.

Burglary
On 7/28/11 at approximately 11:45 PM, police responded to a single-family residence on Tichenor Place on a report of a burglary that had occurred. The victim told police that sometime between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM on that date, someone had entered his residence. It appeared that entry to the residence was gained by removing an air conditioner from a first floor window. A chair was found outside the residence under this window, and it is assumed that the suspect used the chair to climb through the window.

It was reported that a Playstation 3 valued at $300, two wireless remote controls valued at $50 each, six bottles of cologne valued at a total of $300, and $2,220 in cash was stolen from the residence. There are no suspects at this time.
