PROPERTY DAMAGE

Officers responded Feb. 23 to a report of damage to property on South Buffalo Grove Road and found the glass to the interior door of the vestibule shattered. There was a small hole next to the door handle, which was still secured. It was unknown what caused the glass to be shattered, as no other damage was observed in the immediate area. Property management was contacted and arrived to board up the door until the glass could be replaced.

SUSPICIOUS NOISE 

A resident of Columbus Parkway reported she heard a loud bang on the side of her house at 7:20 p.m. Feb. 23, and a man rang her doorbell and offered to shovel her driveway, which she refused. A check of the exterior of the complainant's home showed nothing to be disturbed. A canvass of the area was conducted and neighbors advised a loud bang was heard but the cause was undetermined. They also said the man has been in the area before requesting to shovel snow. He was described as a white male, about 30 years old.
