Village of Pelham Police Blotter: Phantom Boots and Boisterous Youth

Here's a look at incidents investigated by the Village of Pelham Police Department recently.

May 17

A repeat traffic and parking code violator's car was given a boot this past week. On May 16, a male in his mid-20s came into the police station and requested that the boot be removed from the 2006 Ford Fusion. An officer advised the man to come back the next morning when he would be able to talk to the court clerk. However, the next morning the car and boot were nowhere to be found. The booted Fusion had been illegally moved between 11 p.m. the night of May 16 and 12:10 p.m. on May 17.  A registration check revealed the identity of the owner and Village of Pelham detectives are investigating.

May 14

A Washington Avenue resident called police at 7:30 a.m. to report that he found four empty beer cans left on a table on his porch that were not there the night before. The resident was advised to keep the porch light on.

May 13

Police received a call from an Elderwood Avenue resident at 9:05 a.m. to report a group of youths were blocking the road and holding up traffic. Officers on patrol arrived at the scene to find the report to be unfounded.

May 4

Police responded to a triggered house alarm from a Clifford Avenue residence at 12:05 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found the front door open. Police searched the home, but found no sign of forced entry. The homeowner admitted he could have left the door open.
