A One-Car Accident
Police are investigating a one-car accident in the 140-block of Judd Road on Aug. 23, in which a witness told officers the vehicle appeared to strike a utility pole, before moving out and heading east on Judd in the wrong lane.
The witness believes the vehicle may have hit the pole because she saw it resting on it in an awkward position, according to the report. Police are investigating.
When Safe Deposit Boxes Expire
A 49-year-old Monroe woman opened a safe deposit box at Bank of America, 461 Monroe Turnpike, in 2000, where she kept jewelry and personal papers. But she complained to police after learning that the bank had auctioned off the jewelry years after the lease had expired.
The bank told officers she had allowed the lease to expire in 2003 and attempts to contact her where unsuccessful. The contents were inventoried in 2006, removed and placed in a vault in Pasadena, Calif., for safe keeping. When the bank sent out a notification through the mail and still did not receive a response from the client, police said the jewelry was sold in an auction in February of 2009.
The woman told police the jewelry included a gold diamond tennis bracelet, a gold diamond necklace and numerous documents, the report said. Though she did not get her jewelry, police said the woman did get her documents back.
The incident is not a police matter.
