Identity theft. A resident of the 1000 block of N. Concord Street reported that somebody had opened an AT&T account in his name on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean. He had been getting calls saying he owed payment.
Natural gas. Police were called to a vacant house in the 100 block of W. Park Street on a report of a strong natural gas odor. Officers and firefighters found that the house had been badly damaged, with a water meter broken and water flooding the interior, and an appliance lever on a gas pipe left open so gas would escape. The home was ventilated until the natural gas had dissipated. Excel Energy responded and turned off the gas to the home.
Theft. A cell phone charger, 55 CDs in a case, an iPod charger and miscellaneous paperwork were taken from a vehicle in the 200 block of N. Concord Exchange.
Fraud. Central Bank, 835 Southview Blvd., reported that a counterfeit $10 bill had been found in a weekend deposit from Hat Trick Liquor Store. The bill was described as obviously fake -- it was smaller than a real bill, was made of lighter weight paper, was slightly blurred in places and had no watermark.
