• BURGLARY: An unknown man made off with a television and a laptop computer in a burglary Friday morning. Police were dispatched to the 700 block of Eighth Street at 1:33 a.m. and were met by a male victim who told them he returned home at 8:30 p.m. and found an unknown black male exiting the building. He attempted to speak with the man, but the suspect turned his face and walked away. When the victim went inside his apartment, he noticed the door had been forced open and the television and laptop were missing. Police said the victim was uncooperative and did not want to fill out a report or have further police assistance. The neighbors had also called police because their apartment was burglarized as well.
