OAKLAND
DEC. 1
CLOSE CALL
500 block of East Oakland Avenue. Animal Control. At 8:40 a.m., an officer met an informant who reported an attack on his dog from Nov. 22. The informant returned home that day and found a note from his neighbor regarding the attack. The informant found the dog bleeding and missing part of its ear. A veterinarian treated the dog and said it was lucky to be alive.
LINER FIRE
West Orange Trail Marker 29. Arson. An employee informed police that a trash can liner and part of the trail surface had been burned, causing around $150 of damage. The plastic liner was burnt along the walkway to the point it melted the asphalt. Orange County Fire Rescue had put out the fire. Orange County Sheriff’s Office overtook the investigation.

DOORBUSTER
Harbor Court and Orlando Avenue. Burglary. Around 10:45 a.m., officers responded to an alarm at a home on Harbor Court. Officers found the rear door of the home ajar. They surveyed the home but found no one. The occupants found nothing disturbed or missing inside the home but confirmed damage to the rear door and its locks was new. Officers also noticed marks on the door from a flathead screwdriver. Damaged property amounted to about $300. Officers received a call while on site about a white male hopping fences near Montgomery Avenue but could not find him.
JUST VENTING
2700 block of Old Winter Garden Road. Burglary. An officer received a dispatch at 9:13 a.m. regarding a burglary at a pharmacy. The business owner said he had closed his store at 7:20 p.m. the prior day and found the back door forced open and severely damaged upon his return at 8:45 a.m. An unknown suspect had cut wires to the alarm box and removed the box. A suspect took about $200 from the cash register and tried unsuccessfully to access the store’s safe. Fingerprints were found, but they likely belong to the owner. A large, strong burglar used mechanic gloves and a yellow pry bar to open the door, damaging the fence to the retention pond behind the building in the process. Video surveillance cameras abound around the complex, but a local business owner said none works. The pharmacy owner said his video recorder should have been functioning, and that he would check for available video of the incident. Damage to property was at least $2,000.
DEC. 3
WEAPONS RAID
300 block of Kaila Court. Larceny. An officer responded to a theft from a vehicle around 6:30 a.m. at a home. The complainant had parked his car in his driveway the previous night at 8:30. When he walked to his vehicle at 6:20 a.m., he noticed the dome light on, as well as the rear driver-side door ajar. Among stolen items were a hunting bow, two handguns, a rifle, a spotlight, gator-hunting equipment and $40 in cash. The bow was found in the bushes of the 900 block of Veronica Circle, and another officer recovered one handgun around 2 p.m., along with suspect information. The estimated combined value of the stolen items is $2,165.
