POLICE REPORT

Bomb squad detonates device The Bloomington bomb squad was called in to detonate a

“suspicious device” that was found Dec. 10 in the 5200 block of West Hidden Valley Drive.

Capt. Dave Muelken described the device as a garage door opener with a toggle switch taped and glued to it and wiring coming out from the inside.

The bomb squad detonated the device with a shotgun-like shell with water inside of it, Muelken said.

After the suspicious device was detonated, police exam-ined it and determined it wasn’t an explosive device; rather it could have been a “modifi ed garage door opener,” Muelken said.

West Hidden Valley Drive was briefl y shut down while the bomb squad detonated the device. Police were on the scene for about two hours.

Police offer holiday tips to prevent burglary and thefts from vehicles

The holiday season is gener-ally a special time when fami-lies and friends get together to celebrate, and give gifts. But police warn that residential burglars see the holiday season a bit differently.

For burglars, the season of giving is viewed as an opportu-nity to burglarize homes and take new gifts such as electron-ics, computers, jewelry and oth-er easily-sold valuables.

During the holiday season, police are offering up these tips to avoid becoming a victim of burglary:

� Burglars look for a “good score” with a good escape route. So, don’t openly display a Christmas tree and gifts in the front window, because it is easily visible from the street and tempting for burglars to smash the window and grab the wrapped packages.

� Burglars look for clues as to whether a homeowner is home or not, such as outdoor lights burning 24 hours a day, piled up newspapers or fl yers hanging on the door knob. If you are not home for the holi-days, use light timer when you are away and ask a neighbor to keep the front of your home clean of papers and debris.

� Burglars know to look for the hidden door keys near the front entrance, so don’t hide

spare keys under rocks, in fl ow-erpots or above door ledges. Instead, give the spare key to a trusted neighbor.

� Burglars prefer to enter through unlocked doors or win-dows. One holiday problem can occur when exterior Christmas light extension cords are run in-side through a window and pre-vent it from being secured. Hire an electrician or handyman to install an inexpensive exterior outlet for your holiday lights.

� Don’t post your family name on your mailbox or on your house. A burglar can call directory assistance to get your telephone number and call your home while in front of your house to confi rm that you are away.

� After Christmas day, don’t pile up empty gift boxes from your new computer, DVD player or stereo receiver on the street for trash collectors. Burglars appreciate knowing that there are expensive gifts inside a home to steal. Instead, break down or cut the boxes up to con-ceal the items better.

In addition to the potential of residential burglaries, theft from vehicles has increased dramatically over the past sev-eral years, police say. Many of these thefts occur when cars are parked in driveways and cell phones, radar detectors,

GPS units, gym bags, wallets and other valuables are left in plain sight.

With the popularity of elec-tronic items, thieves have a large market of other thieves or people looking for a deal to sell them to. Other times, the items can be sold for cash at pawn shops, police say. Some thieves look for purses to steal, and then they immediately make large purchases on the credit cards and alter the victim’s ID so they, or an accomplice, can forge the checks.

To prevent theft from vehi-cles, police say:

� Lock vehicles and put valuables out of sight, prefer-ably in the trunk or bring them into the house at night.

� If possible, report suspi-cious activities while it is hap-pening. This could save you or your neighbor from being vic-timized. Try to get a descrip-tion of the suspects and their vehicle, and do not confront suspects.

� When transporting valu-ables, place them in the trunk before you get to the location where you intend to park. Don’t transfer them at the parking place in open view of other people.

� Don’t leave the garage door opener on the dashboard or front seat of a vehicle.
