No one is ever home at the time and numerous high value items have been stolen. Additionally three local businesses have been broken into at night after closing. Cash was stolen from the safes in two of the businesses. The third business is a hardware store and several expensive tools were stolen. During this time period two bicycles and one all-terrain vehicle were also stolen while left outside unattended; it is unclear if these thefts were committed by the same offender(s) breaking into homes and businesses. Finally two disturbing incidents occurred in the midst of these crimes. First a man with a gun forcefully pushed a man who was stopped at a red light off of his motorcycle. The gunman then hopped on the motorcycle and sped off. Second two women got into an altercation in the mall parking lot when one woman accused the other of stealing her parking spot. The angry woman parked her truck behind the other woman’s car blocking it in. She then proceeded to kick and hit the other woman for several minutes before grabbing a baseball bat from her truck and hitting the other woman in the back with it. She then smashed the windshield and drove off.
