BEREA —
A boxer dog that was reported stolen from an Elm Street yard on Aug. 23 was recovered the next day, according to Capt. Ken Clark, Berea Police spokesperson.
As the dog’s owner talked about the pet’s loss at his work, a colleague said he had found it in his neighborhood and put it up for the night, Clark said.
The dog, valued at $400, was returned that evening.
“It turned out that somebody had opened the owner’s fence gate and let the dog out,” Clark said.
Berea residents continue to have items stolen from their homes and automobiles, according to Clark’s report.
On Aug. 24, the resident of a Brooklyn Boulevard apartment reported that a 32-inch television, an XBox, Xbox games and money had been taken from residence. The loss was estimated at $1,220.
That same day, a Whitehall Drive resident reported that a handgun, knives and money was taken from the home. Estimated value was $550.
On the afternoon of Aug. 22, a Walmart shopper reported that a DVD player and a Sky Tech alarm, valued at $900, had been removed from an unlocked vehicle in the store’s parking lot.
Between Aug. 23 and Aug. 27, traffic stops led Berea Police to arrest three people on drug or alcohol charges, according to Clark.
On Aug. 23, a 35-year-old man from Mt. Vernon was arrested on KY 1016 and charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Just after midnight on Aug. 26, a Marcellus Drive woman was arrested at the intersection of North Broadway and Jefferson Street and charged with alcohol intoxication. A check of police records revealed an outstanding Fayette County warrant, Clark said.
