An Evanston resident reported a burglary Tuesday after noticing multiple items missing from her apartment on the 1100 block of Dewey Avenue, police said.

The 48-year-old woman believes the theft occurred between Feb. 8 and Feb. 16, but she had not realized several pieces of jewelry, an iPad and an espresso machine were missing until Tuesday, when she reported the crime, Evanston Police Department spokesman Perry Polinski said. The items are valued at $2,800, he said.

There was no evidence of forced entry, Polinski said. EPD officers are currently investigating the incident, he said.

Prescription anxiety medication stolen during a party

Prescription medication was allegedly stolen early Monday morning from an apartment in the 1000 block of Garnett Place, police said.

The resident, a 25-year-old Evanston man, reported the theft around 2 p.m. Monday afternoon and told police he thinks the anxiety medication was stolen during a party he hosted between Sunday night and Monday morning, Polinski said. Police believe the thief was most likely a guest at the party.

There are currently no leads on suspects, Polinski said.
