When she returned to the locker room after practice, the student could not find her phone. The volleyball coach attempted to help her find the device using GPS and the two thoroughly searched the locker room to no avail.

On Sept. 23, a second student reported an iPhone theft from the EVMS girls locker room.

On Sept. 26, an Eagle police officer spoked with the entire volleyball team. Because the sole locker room access is through the gym when practice is conducted, the officer learned that players don’t always lock up their belongings. The officer urged the team members to secure their belongings and be aware of people entering the gym and the locker room while they are practicing so they can report any suspicious activity.

The girls were urged to contact Crime Stoppers if they had any information about the thefts.

Ill-advised entertainment

An Eagle Police officer on patrol near the Sunset View Cemetery was disturbed to see a SUV driving through the area with a young child riding on the hood of the car.

The officer stopped the vehicle at the bottom of the hill and told the driver that allowing her 5-year-old daughter to sit on the hood while the car was in motion was extremely dangerous. The driver said she was sorry, but that “her daughter really liked it.”

The driver was cited for reckless endangerment.

The customer then attempted to leave without paying for the items.

The loss prevention officer provided a copy of the video surveillance showing the woman’s actions.
