Male later returned to the gas station to report incident; however, accor-ding to complainant, the male altered the story on how the incident happened and advised complainant it was a faulty gas hose connection.

SUSPICIOUS
June 20
12:08 a.m., Lancaster Drive, Auburn. Someone is walking in the caller’s back yard with a flash light. They can’t see them now, but not sure if they just turned the flash light off. Caller and her husband are in an upstairs bedroom. Complainant heard driveway alarm activate, then observed lights in the bedroom window. Complainant and wife got up and observed a person walking through their backyard and standing behind a tree with a flash light. Flash light went off and on a few times. Deputy was in the area and arrived, at which point the complainant saw the person walking westbound through the backyard and lost visual. Deputy deployed his canine, which began a track from the tree and into the woods. Upon arrival to the neighbor’s home, a koi pond pump activated and distracted the canine. The track could not be picked back up. Neighboring woods were checked with the canine and no evidence was located. Deputy will perform contin-uous extra patrols in the area.

THEFT
June 21
2:24 p.m., GAR Highway, Montville. Caller reported a cooking grill taken from their property. Deputy informed. Complainant put home-made BBQ grill out front of this house in preparation to place a “for sale” sign on it. Complainant was inside house and unknown person removed the grill from the property. Deputy and complainant believe whoever took the grill may have been under the impression the item was “trash” as there was no sign on it indicating a price or “for sale.” Chardon City had bulk trash pickup day which may have given the impression that the item was placed near the street for anyone to pick up.
