| GYPSY STYLE BURGLARIES IN PUNTA GORDA |
|
WENGNews writes, "PUNTA GORDA POLICE DETECTIVES ARE INVESTIGATING WHAT THEY ARE CALLING SEVERAL GYPSY STYLE BURGLARIES THAT OCCURRED IN THE BURNT STORE ISLES AREA YESTERDAY. JUST BEFORE 2PM, POLICE WERE CALLED TO A HOME ON PORTOFINO AVENUE AFTER THE HOMEOWNER FOUND A HISPANIC WOMAN ON HER LANAI. THE WOMAN CLAIMED SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HER DOG. SHE IMMEDIATELY LEFT ON FOOT AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET. ABOUT 40 MINUTES LATER, THEY RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM A RESIDENT ON SAN PIETRO COURT, WHICH IS ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS AWAY, WHO STATED SHE RETURNED HOME TO FIND THEIR FRONT DOOR, DRESSER DRAWERS, AND JEWELRY BOXES ALL OPEN. THE WOMAN WAS DESCRIBED AS BEING STOCKY WITH LIGHT COLORED SKIN AND BLACK HAIR PULLED BACK INTO A BUN. THE LOST DOG EXCUSE IS ONE THAT’S BEEN USED IN YEARS, AND POLICE SAY IN ORDER TO CATCH THESE PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO CALL THEM IMMEDIATELY. THEY ALSO SAY IF A VEHICLE LOOKS OUT OF PLACE, DON’T HESITATE TO GIVE THEM A CALL AT 639-4111."
