Police Blotter: Residents Report Garage Thefts; Dog Owners Get Court Date

A resident reported that sometime between 11:30 p.m. Sunday and 6:30 a.m. Monday someone stole a one-gallon air compressor and a charger out of her garage on the 500 block of Lincoln Avenue. The woman told police she woke up and noticed the side entry door to her garage was ajar. When she checked she  discovered the items were missing. The garage door was unlocked, the police report said.

A resident on the 400 block of Charlevoix said he believes someone stole a Ryobi 10-inch compound miter saw out of his garage sometime between noon on June 8 and 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The homeowner said his garage was unlocked during that time period and a police report says nothing else was missing. The resident said the saw was blue and silver and costs $150-$200.

Stop sign stolen

Someone pulled the stop sign out the ground at the corner of East Baker Avenue and High Street. Police said the incident was reported about 8:25 a.m. Tuesday.

Anyone with information about the larcenies is asked to call Clawson police at 248-435-5000.

Dog owners have court date

A resident on the 600 block of Langley Boulevard was cited on Sunday for allowing a dog to run loose through the neighborhood. A neighbor told police that the homeowner's mixed shepherd dog ran after a golden retriever that was being walked by an elderly woman on Langley. A police report said the two dogs began to grapple, tangling the elderly woman in the leash which caused her to fall to the ground screaming. The neighbor said he did not know if the woman was injured because she quickly got up and walked away.

When police arrived at the dog owner's house, they spoke with a man and a woman. The residents said their dog is friendly, but police say this isn't the first time neighbors have complained about the dog causing problems. Officers issued a citation for letting the dog run loose. A court date is set for 8:30 a.m. July 6.
