Suspicious person on Collins Road

Police responded to Collins Road on Dec. 26 after a resident reported a suspicious man walking through his yard and looking in his windows.

According to police reports, the resident spotted the suspicious person walking around his yard between 3:40 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. The suspect was described as a black man in his 30s wearing a reflective vest.

The resident told police the suspicious man was driving a green open-bed truck with 'Jules Discount Tree Service' written on the side and debris in the truck bed. The truck also had a yellow license plate, but the resident could not make out the plate number.
