Son’s homeless friend suspected
1:09 p.m. — 100 Block of Bird of Paradise Drive. Larceny. A woman told police that some of her belongings were missing from her residence. She believes that her son is removing the items from the residence so that his friend can pawn the items and buy drugs with the money.

The woman’s son advised that he did not take any of the property, but his friend stayed in his room at the residence for three days. He is unsure if the suspect removed any of the property. He also stated that this suspect is homeless and there is no way to contact him.

She also passed all points of sale and exited through the front doors. This woman was issued a notice to appear for retail theft and shoplifting.
