GRAND LARCENY: At 11:07 p.m. Saturday, a woman entered the rear of the Red Coach Inn to grab a takeout order. She was inside for about 30 seconds. Long enough to come back out and see a man fleeing with her purse which contained a passport, credit cards and $500.
CRIMINAL MISCHIEF: A Sixth Street resident called police to report someone attempted to pry open his garden shed, doing about $600 in damage.
DWI: At 6:44 p.m. Sunday, a driver was waiting to turn onto 70th Street from Niagara Falls Boulevard when a pickup truck attempting to enter Tops sideswiped her. The woman attempting to turn suffered a broken arm. The other driver stunk like alcohol, claimed to not have been driving, changed his story and failed field sobriety tests. He refused a chemical test and was charged with driving while intoxicated and moving from a lane unsafely.
