In The Garage
There’s been more excitement in the parking garage at 3130 Sheffield, where at least 22 cars were broken into recently.
Police were called to the garage late Thursday night after receiving a report of four men “lurking” inside. Two of the suspects, including one who dropped a knife, fled when police arrived. Two others were questioned and released.
At 10:30 the next night, a security guard reported that a man tried to stab him at the garage. The suspect in that incident is described as a Hispanic man in his late 20’s. He escaped in a silver van with a white female driver.
