On Saturday, Oct. 15, around 2:04 a.m., police responded to another report of a burglary on the 3600 block of Bates Street. According to the crime alert, the victim noticed while walking home his vehicle was not where he had left it.

The police do not yet have any information about suspects for either incident.
