Shopper takes eyes off purse
1:43 p.m. — 1400 Block of West Granada Boulevard
Burglary of Conveyance
After grocery shopping, the victim opened the windows of her truck to release the heat. She placed her purse on the center console.
She said she started to load her groceries and when she checked for her purse after about 10 seconds, she noticed it was missing. She did not hear or see anyone in the immediate area.
She drove home and started calling credit card companies and found that a card had already been used to buy gas.
Her phone was in her purse, and she tried to locate it using the “find my phone” feature, but her phone had been turned off.
The officer was able to obtain prints from the passenger door, and he also got “elimination” prints from the victim.

Credit score alerts victim
5:03 p.m. — First Block of Brookwood Drive
Fraud
The victim said she had noticed her credit score went down, and found out there was a bill for AT&T with a collection service for an account she did not open. She filed a report with AT&T, and they removed the account from her record. Apparently, someone used her personal information to create an account.
The officer recognized the address on the fraudulent bill as being a foreclosed house where a family had illegally squatted.

A great deal?
9:14 p.m. — 700 Block of South Atlantic Avenue
Armed Robbery
The victim said the two suspects in a white Toyota asked him if he was interested in buying a brand new iPhone 6 in original packaging for $400.
The victim got in the back seat and gave them $350 in cash, as an offer.
One of the suspects was not willing to hand over the phone. He pulled a knife and said, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” and told the victim to get out of the vehicle.
After a police officer initiated a traffic stop nearby, the suspect who pulled the knife now pulled an older-style revolver and told the victim to get out.
After the victim got out, the suspects fled with the phone and the cash. The victim ran to the officer while calling 911.
One suspect was described as a thin, white male, and the other appeared of Middle-Eastern descent to the victim.
Officers checked for video at surrounding businesses and searched for the car with negative results.
The victim told police he wanted to buy the iPhone because it was a great deal.
