Someone Takes Beer, Cigarettes From Garage of Home Near High School

One of the items in this week's police blotter is a good reminder to keep your garage door closed and your alcohol out of reach.

Here's the blotter item:

Someone took about 24 bottles of beer and a pack of cigarettes from the garage of a home in the 700 block of McKinley Avenue sometime between 6 p.m. May 14 and 12:45 a.m. May 15, reports said. The owner told police that the items were taken from a refrigerator in his detached garage.

This isn't the first time this type of crime has happened in Geneva this spring.

• Around 1:20 p.m. on April 10, someone witnessed a youth entering the attached garage of a residence in the 1400 block of Fargo Boulevard. The young man took from a shelf on the north side of the garage, police reports said.
• At around 6:15 a.m. on April 23, someone took 24 cans of Coors Light beer from the garage of a home in the 300 block of Olson Court sometime between 10 p.m. April 22 and 6:15 a.m. April 23, reports said. 

It's not exactly the same thing, but around 10 p.m. April 22, someone took prescription drugs from a car parked in a driveway in the 700 block of Illinois Street, according to reports.
