A Stolen Watch

A Sprucebrook Terrace man reported his $3,000 Breitling watch stolen Monday. He believes it was taken by a guest during a party he held at his home two weeks ago, according to the report.

 

A Narcotics Arrest

A noise complaint led to the narcotics arrest of a youthful offender at 1:23 a.m. on March 31.

An officer responding to the complaint found a vehicle parked on Benedict Road with three 17-year-old males sitting inside. When he asked them to open the window, smoke came out, police said.

Marijuana, several small plastic bags and a scale were inside the vehicle, police said.

The driver, a Monroe teen, said everything belonged to him and he was charged with possession of less-than-four-ounces of marijuana and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, police said. He was released to his parents on a promise to appear in court on April 10.
