Police Reports: Elementary School Thief and a Teenage Rampage
From a criminal stalking around Woodside Elementary School to a gang of teens defacing property, this is a list of the most interesting police reports this week.

Snatching Identities for Food Stamps
Monday, May 14 at 4:01 p.m.
A 22-year-old Sussex man called police from his apartment on the N68W24000 block of Stonegate Court after he found out someone was trying to steal his identity. The mystery person somehow used the manβs social security number to register for food stamps and BadgerCare. Police are still investigating the fraudulent registration.
A Safe-Zone Thief
Thursday, May 17 at 1:16 p.m.
Police were called to after a visitor received a pretty rude awakening. The report says a 41-year-old Sussex woman parked in the schoolβs parking lot during her stay, but when she returned, her vehicleβs window was smashed. To add insult to injury, the criminal stole the womanβs purse. The Sussex resident isnβt a Woodside employee, and police are following up on the case.
Sibling Rivalry Taken Too Far
Friday, May 18 at 11:56 p.m.
A 30-year-old Sussex man called police on Friday after noticing a few crucial things missing from his home: two televisions and a wine refrigerator. The oddest part is he thinks he knows who the thief is. The man, who lives on the N60W23000 block of Butternut Lane, says heβs sure his 32-year-old sister stole the items. Police havenβt confirmed the sibling scuffle, but itβs still under investigation.

Police were called to the N59W23000 block of Clover Drive on Sunday after a band of teens took their fun on Sunday a bit too far. Six teens ranging in age from 16 to 18-years-old wielded handfuls of eggs and pelted a local residentβs car. The resident apparently saw, and because they kids didnβt have bikes or a car, they were quickly apprehended. Each teen was issued a ticket for disorderly conduct. Β
