Boyce Chief of Police May 12,2009 To: The Honorable Mayor Gilmore Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Re: Report of the Police Department for April 2009 For the month of April there were 131 complaints reported to the police department and 3 motor vehicle accidents investigated. There were 72 traffic tickets issued and 6 parking tickets written. For the month of April there was one felony complaint, for Grand Larceny. A resident reported noticing numerous items of jewelry missing from her jewelry box. The resident stated that the last time she wore any of the items was approximately 7 months ago. A week later,the resident found the jewelry in another location in the house. The case was closed as unfounded. There were nine misdemeanors reported: four for Petit Larceny,two for Criminal Mischief,one for Scheme to Defraud and two for Identity Theft. One larceny was the report of a bicycle stolen from a resident's yard. While on patrol, the officer observed that a stop sign and post had been removed and taken from an intersection. The DPW was notified and a new sign and post were installed. A complaint was received from a group home supervisor that a certain number of prescription pills were missing from the count and had not been given to the recipient. All of these larceny reports are still under investigation. While on patrol, the officer observed two males in a vehicle which was traveling very slowly down the road. The vehicle then stopped, the two subjects got out and started putting fire wood into the back of the vehicle. Both subjects admitted that the fire wood was not theirs and they did not have permission to take it. The owner of the firewood was contacted and did not want to pursue criminal charges but did want the Campus Judicial System and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs advised of the incident. This was done and the case was closed. One criminal mischief complaint was the report by a resident that one of the windows in her overhead garage door had been broken out, possibly by a thrown rock. The second criminal mischief was the report of damage done to a complainant's vehicle while it was parked in a parking lot. A resident reported that he had advertised his apartment on Craig's List in order to sublet it for the summer. He had been corresponding with a subject via email about renting it. The subject mailed him a check for a larger amount and requested that he wire the remainder back to her using Western Union. The resident did so and then later was notified by his bank that the check was fraudulent. The resident was advised that this is a well know manner of a scheme to defraud and not to communicate anymore with the subject as the subject was still contacting him via email and had even mailed him another check which he did not deposit. The final misdemeanors were the reports of identity theft. A resident stated that he received an extra charge for a service on his Verizon bill. He was advised by Verizon that someone had requested the service for unlimited long distance calling. The resident advised Verizon that he did not ask for the extra charge was still corresponding with the company and would let this department know the outcome. A resident reported she had found that a large amount had been charged to her credit card. When she inquired about it she was advised by her bank that an unknown subject had contacted the credit card company and changed the mailing address on her account and her email address. Merchandise had been charged to her card and the items mailed to an address in Texas. There were two violations reported for the month of April: one for Disorderly Conduct and one for Harassment. The disorderly conduct complaint was the report of a loud party and many people outside the location making noise. The officer spoke to the subjects and the party ended. The harassment case involved a subject who reported that he felt threatened by some construction workers as he attempted to drive by them. The officer responded and spoke with all parties involved and the situation was resolved. There were three Village Ordinance complaints: Two for Dog Control and one for an Open Container of Alcohol. The officer responded to a report of a possible suspicious person in Sunset Park. Upon arrival, the officer observed a subject sitting on the stone wall with an opened can of beer. The 46 year old male was issued an appearance ticket for court for the Open Alcoholic Beverage Container violation of the local law. There were four Vehicle and Traffic complaints: three for parking and one miscellaneous traffic problem. There were one hundred and twelve miscellaneous complaints reported to his department for the month of April. The officer responded to a residence for a domestic dispute between a father and son. The son was issued an appearance ticket for criminal mischief as he had caused damage to the house, During the month of April, Sgt Steinmetz attended a Campus-Community Coalition meeting which was held at the Africana Studies.
