Lake Forest Park Police Blotter 10-18 to 10-24-2010

Tuesday, November 2, 2010


By Diane Hettrick - Categories and Trends are mine - reports are from the police.

Trends: Noticeable this week is the lack of mail theft (zero) and bank fraud (only two). Only one burglary but lots of parties.  The police were very busy stopping every driver who even blinked,  used a cell phone, had the wrong plates, didn't use their turn signal, didn't wear a seat belt, had a child in the front seat, went too fast, didn't yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, ran lights, cut corners,   I left those out - just know that they are ever watchful.

Stolen and abandoned cars
