The following crime reports were taken from the Allston-Brighton District D-14 crime logs from April 18 to April 24.
On Thursday at about 7:45 a.m., an unknown person broke into a woman’s car parked in Brighton on Holton Street. The victim told police she parked her vehicle on Holton Street at about that time, and when she returned 15 minutes later, she observed that her front, driver-side window was smashed. The victim noticed her Garmin GPS, valued at $150, was missing from the center console of the vehicle.
Unlocked and Unloaded
At about 6 a.m. on Friday, a tenant in a Brighton apartment on Ashford Street woke up from a sound to see an unknown male wearing a light-grey hooded sweater exiting his bedroom. The victim believed the hooded person to be a roommate, he told police, but later in the day realized his MacBook Pro was missing from his room. Only a set of headphones rested where the laptop once was. Another roommate said her white MacBook was missing. She said they all leave their doors unlocked due to their different schedules. The officer did not observe any pry marks on the door and decided the breaking and entering into the apartment did not involve force. The officer advised the victims to lock their doors in the future.
Not so ‘safe’
At about 6 p.m. on Thursday, officers responded to a call for larceny at Commonwealth Avenue in Brighton. The victim told police that sometime between last month and Wednesday, his safe had gone missing. The victim had been storing his safe in his desk cabinet and realized it was missing at around 11 p.m. on Wednesday. The safe contained credit cards and personal documents, and the victim told police that many people have stayed in the apartment, which he shares with a roommate.
