Blotter: Kohl’s packages stolen from front porch

Clare Proctor, Assistant City Editor

Two Kohl’s packages were stolen Wednesday from a woman’s porch in the 1800 block of Dodge Ave.

The resident had a camera set up on her porch, Evanston Police Department Cmdr. Ryan Glew said. She saw on camera that UPS delivered her packages and then saw a man driving a gray Chevrolet HHR come up to her porch and take the packages.

The items stolen, valued at $582, include a Roomba vacuum, Candy Color Hair Chalk, a Brain Games Code Breaker book and two BigMouth Inc. safes — one that looks like a SpaghettiOs can and one that looked like a corned beef hash can, Glew said.

The car was last seen driving west on Church Street, but no one is in custody, Glew said.

Blu-ray disc set, pitchers taken from apartment

A 31-year-old man reported three Amazon packages stolen from his apartment on the 1000 block of Church Street between Jan. 27 and Feb. 5.

The items taken include a Blu-ray disc set and two pitchers, a total value of $310, Glew said.

There are no suspects and no one is in custody. The security camera in the apartment lobby was not functioning, Glew added.
