FOUND ITEM

A complainant reported March 10 that a blue box with wires attached around it was sitting in a parking lot of the 1100 block of West Lake-Cook Road. An officer found a Hitachi Denshi Oscilloscope. No owner information was on the electronic testing instrument, so it was placed into property.

A resident reported that he received a number of phone calls that came up as “anonymous” on Caller ID between Jan. 10 and March 10. His wife answered one of the calls on March 10, and the caller mentioned  “something about five million dollars,” according to police. When the wife stated that she was not interested, the caller made a threat of bodily harm. While the officer was taking the report, he answered one of the calls and told the caller that he is a police officer and that the caller should stop calling. The caller replied, “and I’m Agent Smith from the FBI,” and hung up.

SUSPICIOUS PHONE CALL

A resident received a phone call on March 9 from a person stating to be from Northwest Community Hospital. The caller requested the resident’s address and Social Security number to confirm with whom he was speaking. The resident refused and the caller stated that he would mail a packet and hung up.
