Police Log: Vandalism, Break-ins and a Sunglasses Theft

Vandalism

Police responded to Newtonville Avenue on Thursday for reports of vandalism.

According to reports, sometime Wednesday night someone shot two BBs at the door of a building, breaking the glass.

Car vandalism

A Green Court resident told police Thursday that someone vandalized his two vehicles while they were parked in the street overnight.

According to reports, the resident said someone poured something into the vehicles' transmissions that prevented the cars from starting. 

Theft at Solstice

An employee working at Solstice Sunglasses in the told police Thursday that a pair of Gucci sunglasses had been taken from the store. 

According to reports, a group of people walked into the store -- two males and one female -- and started looking at sunglasses. One male was trying on several pairs of sunglasses and was asking the employee to write down numbers. Meanwhile, the other male and female were looking at the Gucci section of the store. 

The employee told police he tried to keep an eye on the group, as he felt they were suspicious and may steal a pair of sunglasses.

After trying on multiple pairs, one male told the employee that he had selected three and would be back shortly to choose a pair. Then, roughly 20 minutes later, the two males returned to the store to purchase the glasses.

While pulling out his card to pay for two pairs of glasses, the male received a phone call from his mother, which the Solstice employee believed was a fake phone call.

Then, the male said he did not have enough money to buy two pairs and he would be back to buy one pair. However, the two males did not return. 

When the employee went to put the sunglasses back, he saw that a pair of black Gucci glasses was missing. 

After looking at the surveillance tapes, the employee's manager said the same group had been in the store a few days earlier.

The suspects are described as:

• A white male, approximately 18- to 22-years old, heavy-set build brown hair, 5'9", no facial hair wearing a baggy grey Patriots sweatshirt and baggy grey sweat pants.
• A while male, approximately 18- to 22-years old, thin build, black short crew cut, some facial hair, approximately 5'10", wearing white/grey Air Max sneakers, jeans, t-shirt and a brown suede jacket. This party reportedly appeared intoxicated.
• A white female approximately 18- to 22-years old, heavy-set build, pale complexion, dirty blonde hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a baggy grey sweatshirt and long pajama-style pants with a pattern.
