Dodge Caravan damaged overnight

Plymouth Township Police responded to Katherine Court on Sept. 19 in response to a busted driver's side window on a 2010 Dodge Caravan, according to a police report.

The victim told police he looked inside his vehicle and did not see anything had been stolen. He told police he had a laptop, GPS, briefcase and some tools in his vehicle and did not know who could have broken his window.

According to the police report, officers could not find any objects in or around the vehicle that could have been used to break the window.

Purse stolen from vehicle at gas station

Plymouth Township Police met with a woman at the station who said while she was at the Speedway gas station, 15255 Sheldon Road, someone stole her purse while she was filling her 2002 Jeep Liberty’s tire with air, according to a police report.

The woman told police she pulled up near the air pump, exited the vehicle and began to fill her tire on the driver’s side. She told police she re-entered her vehicle and drove toward Oak Park and said she noticed her purse missing while driving.

She told police when she exited her car to fill the tire, her purse was on the passenger seat and the passenger-side window was open.

Among the stolen items were a black Donna Karen cloth purse, a black wallet, a driver’s license, credit cards, a checkbook and cash. The woman told police she closed her checking account and her credit cards when she realized her purse was stolen. She told police she received notice from the Von Maur department store in Laurel Park Place in Livonia, saying two checks were passed on Sept. 4. The officer told the woman she would have to file a report with Livonia police, as Von Maur falls within its jurisdiction.
