Butting in

An Eagle woman called police last week when she found two cigarette butts inside her parked car.

The butts had burned fabric and carpet inside the vehicle.

The owner said she had returned home from a camping trip and parked her car on the street directly in front of her home. She wanted to air out the car and left the windows partially open. Approximately two hours later, she returned to move the car and noticed the vehicle’s interior smelled like cigarettes. She then found the butts and noticed the damage.

Police collected the cigarette butts and entered them into evidence. Officers advised the woman to keep her vehicle secured, with the window rolled up, and to report any future suspicious activity.

Bike thefts

The first incident happened along Whiting Road. The people who reported the theft said the bike belonged to a friend of their grandson. The bike was taken when it was left, unsecured, next to a residential driveway. The youth size bike is a black and white Huffy brand, Specter model.
