• A man crawled through a basement door window he broke on Lonedell Road in Arnold when the homeowner was home. The victim said she heard someone ringing her doorbell and didn't answer it. She then heard a noise and thought that it was the weather. When she heard another noise, she looked out her kitchen window to find her chainlink fence gate open and thought someone was in her home. She opened the door at the top of the steps and found a tall, thin man with dark curly hair wearing a gray shirt standing at the top of her steps. He said, "She's home," and ran down the stairs back out the basement door.  
• A small black fire safe containing $2,000, a $275 money order and two containers of change were reported stolen from a home at Highland House Villas in Arnold. The items were valued at $2,455.
