TOOLS TAKEN

500 block of West Henschen Avenue. Theft. An officer met a complainant around 8:05 p.m. about a theft that had just occurred. The complainant said a neighbor had stolen her shovel and hoe from her yard after the complainant refused to give her money and asked her to leave. The neighbor became belligerent and then left with the tools. The officer met the suspect at her residence, where she was uncooperative and said she had never asked for money. The officer told both that the suspect would be trespassed from the complainant’s property if she went there again. The complainant declined to prosecute for the theft of the tools.
