Car Larcenies Continue in Bloomfield Township

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI — In-dash stereo/radio systems were stolen from two vehicles in the last several days, and a battery was taken from a truck belonging to Brother Rice High School, according to a weekly activity report from the Bloomfield Township Police Department.

Also, officers were called to a home on the 3000 block of Middlebury Lane Friday, July 29, to investigate a burglary at a vacant home that was being remodeled and prepared for sale. A Realtor who arrived at the home Friday morning discovered that it had been burglarized.

Items inside the home were damaged, lawn equipment and bicycles were stolen from the garage, and appliances in the kitchen were gone. The loss in the break-in, which occurred sometime between July 24-29, was estimated at about $20,000

The three larcenies from vehicles occurred July 28, Aug. 1 and Aug. 2.

In the first incident, a woman told police she parked her Chrysler Town and Country in the medical building lot at 43380Woodward Ave. about 3 p.m. When she returned three hours later, she found her door open and the in-dash radio system gone. Her purse was left untouched in the van. The victim told police she thought she locked the vehicle, but there were no signs of forced entry.

On Aug. 2, a woman told police she parked her van, also a Chrysler Town and County, in the Mex Restaurant parking lot, 6675 Telegraph Road, at 5:15 p.m. When she returned at 6:30 p.m., the window had been broken and the in-dash stereo was gone. A laptop computer on the front seat hadn't been taken, she said.

On Aug. 1, a representative of Brother Rice High School, 7101 Lahser Road, said the battery was stolen from the school-owned truck sometime between July 23-30.

Anyone with information about any of the incidents is asked to call the Bloomfield Township Police Department at (248)433-7755.
