OCOEE
SEPT. 23
EXPENSIVE TASTE
10000 block of West Colonial Drive. Suspicious person. A store manager told police that two unknown suspects used various credit cards to try to purchase numerous bottles of expensive wine. The suspects used three separate cards, creating six different declined transactions, because they removed bottles to reduce the total. The pair also reportedly asked the manager, “What time do you close?” and “What time do you leave?” as well as questions about the store safe. The pair used passports as their identification and said they were not from this country, the report stated.
WHY, HELLO THERE
2100 block of E.H. Pounds Drive. Information. Upon arrival at a residence, police met with a man who said he represents the property owner. The man said the home is for sale, and when the Realtor tried to show the property to a potential buyer, she noticed there were people living in the house. A woman, who apparently was squatting in the house with her family, provided a lease for the property that reportedly was signed on Sept. 19 by the owner. But, the complainant said the owner died from cancer several months ago.

BUTTERFINGERS
10000 block of West Colonial Drive. Theft. At 1:58 a.m., police arrived at a superstore, where two male suspects had attempted to steal several types of beer and wine. The suspects had attempted to carry the alcohol away in a large, black Tupperware-like container but dropped it and ran when an employee confronted them in the parking lot and called police. While the suspects escaped, one lost his black sandals. Employees recovered all merchandise intact, with a value of $62.10.
