FREQUENT FLYER: Police were patrolling near Dollar Tree, 701 Portage Road at about 4 p.m. Thursday when they observed Pablo Morales of Whitney Avenue and pulled into the parking lot hoping to deter thievery only to have a manager run from the store and say “Pablo Morales just stole from here and he went that way!” The officer called for backup because Morales is known for fleeing and evading arrest and was seen heading behind Niagara Towers with another individual. Officer Mort collected the suspect without incident. Petit larceny was the charge.
