When officers arrived and spoke with an employee, he told them it appeared someone had cut through the chain link fence and damaged the cell phone processing system. He was unsure of the value of the processor but told officers his guess is that it would be more than $5000. At the time of this report, there was nothing further.

Fraud: Officers responded to a SR 410 store to the report of a fraud in progress. The store’s loss prevention agent told officers she had seen a repeat offender in the store trying to return an item that he had just selected off the shelf. The suspect told officers he needed money for his girlfriend so he used an old receipt and selected an item on it to return it. Officers escorted him out of the store and released him. The officers have forwarded this to the prosecutor’s office for consideration of burglary charges.
