Police help out two with nowhere to go

Falls police were called to 800 Main Street about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday for a report of two people sleeping on the sidewalk.

Police came across a 15-year-old and 17-year-old who said they’d been thrown out of Casey House for violating house rules. Officers called local shelters but couldn’t find a bed for the pair.

They were instead taken to police headquarters where police continued looking for a place for the 15-year-old to go. Eventually they found him a bed at Compass House in Buffalo. Police drove the youth to the shelter and turned him over to staff.

The 17-year-old was eventually brought home to his family in Lewiston.

Motel parking lot thefts reported

Two travelers staying at Motel 8, 795 Rainbow Blvd., reported having their cars broken into on Tuesday.

An Indiana man told police he parked in the motel’s parking lot about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday and went to the lobby to check in. About 10 minutes later he walked back to his ’06 Toyota Tacoma pickup to find someone had smashed in a window and taken a GPS unit, Nintendo DS game system and a handheld radio. The estimated loss was $390.

About 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, a Fulton man told police someone had smashed a window of his ’01 Chevy Blazer and taken a 1,600-watt Brutus amp and 1,600-watt Olympus speaker. The estimated loss was $600.

Man killed when deer flies in to truck

A 29-year-old Smithville man died Monday night after the car he was driving hit a deer on Regional Road 20 in West Lincoln, Niagara Regional Police say.

The man was driving a brown 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck about 9 p.m. westbound on Regional Road 20 near Kimbo Road. At about the same time a 71-year-old Wainfleet man was driving a 1999 Ford Taurus eastbound when he struck a deer. The deer continued across the highway and was hit by the oncoming pickup truck.

The deer came through the truck’s windshield and came in contact with the truck’s driver, a police report states. The pickup truck veered off the road into the a field. When emergency crews arrived, members of the public had pulled the man from the truck but he had sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
