12

Day Shift starts for me.

i wake up a half hour before work.

i am dressed and ready to work 15 minutes before my shift starts.

Officer D calls Sgt, he is late.

Dispatch chimes in at start of shift, calling D's number
"D UUMV" it repeats three times.
no answere.
"DD UUMV"
-DD copies enroute

i meet with victims.During the night, while they slept, someone came into the house and took all the keys to the 5 cars parked out front, rummaged through the vehicles and stole two of the vehicle.

there are no clues, no evidence. the back door was unlocked. they had friends over watching a movie, but no one they knew who would take the car.

i check the area for the cars, looking for the dumped joy ridden car.

the area where the cars were taken is the center the car clouts that have been plaguing the area.

two hours later the victim calls.
"my car in high centered about 30 miles out of town. there are 3 people walking away from it. this lady called me after finding my car. here is the phone number"

i call the lady. the one of the stolen vehicles is off a dirt road. high centered, but not damaged. three people were walking away from it down the dirt road. she gave them a ride, but they should be at the local country store.

i haul ass to the dirt road.

as i am going to the dirt road, a car passes me. all the occupants give a look and catch my attention. i don't have time to stop it.

the lady meets me near the car. no keys no stereo. high centered off the road.
"i gave them a ride to the store. they were going to meet up with M", she give great descriptions of the three.

M lives in near the country store, but no good address. i stop at the store and ask the workers.
"M lives about 100 feet that way with her grand mother. M isn't there she left about 3 minutes before you got her. She had 3 friends with her and she called us saying the cops were coming, when you passed her."

-can you describe the 3 friends?
they match the 3 people leaving the car and the 3 who got a ride from the lady.
-thanks

i go to her house. grandmother gives me phone number, date birth and vehicle license.... the one that passed me and all the occupants looked at me.

i put an ATL on the vehicle and call M from grandmother's phone.
-hey M this DD, where are you?

"i'm at Joes in town"

-great stay there i'll have an officer come meet you there. do you still have the 3 people with you?

"I....dropped them off and I don't know them very well and..."

-wrong. M i am going to be very blunt. you know those people and you know why i am calling. if you don't want to cooperate that is fine, but I will come arrest you for everything and I will have DHS with me so that while you are in PRISON, someone will take care of your son.

"um....where can i meet you"

-fine, stay put there until you talk to an officer

"I want to tell you I don't know those people and......."

click. i hang up and have an officer sit at Joes.

i call the owner of the 1 vehicle and arrange for the return, but with no keys and 30 miles out of the city it will be interesting. the other car is still gone.

M meets with the other officer. She lies at first, but then tells gives up all the others names and where they crashed for the night. she also says the 2nd stolen vehicle is about half mile further in the woods where the 3 dumped it. M says her bf, H texted her earlier in the night about stealing a car and then showed up with the 2 cars, C and a S. They dumped the cars and wanted a ride back into town.

Officer QJ and i go the suspects house. grandfather is out front fixing his car.
-hey is H and C home? Can i go in you home?
i explain what is going on. he is more than fine with it.

i walk in H and C are sleeping on the couch.

-HELLO, I AM DD, STAY PUT. WE ARE GOING TO PLAY A GAME. COOPERATION MEANS YOU DON'T GO TO JAIL

i interview them both
C tells me everything. "we were watching a movie here. H leaves comes back with car #1 and then Car #2. I don't ask were he got them but I know they are stolen. We go to visit M and decided to ditch them. I drove car #2 with S as passenger. I ditched it about half mile from car #1 and broke out the windows in the front, so you couldn't get finger prints."

it confirms the story and the timeline off the witness and M.


H tells me
-every been arrested or to prison?
"yeah for stealing cars"
-okay
"we were at a bar, came home, got magicked out into the dirty road. got ditched a party called M for a ride. I don't know anything'

-really that's your story?

"it's truth"

-interview over, don't waste my time

i take C and H to jail. S calls there phone while at the jail.

-S this is DD, do you want to give me a statement or do i just put out a warrant.
"I'll be there ASAP

S tells me, other than the fact she wasn't drinking (she is 20)
"i was hanging out with H and C, we went to H's house. He left then returns with car #1 and #2. He drives #1 and C drives #2 out to the dirt road. The talk to M. state they need to ditch the car. C drives #2 out into the woods, breaks the windows and attempts to wipe fingerprints off the car and they meet H walking down the road, after seeing car #1 high centered. then they get a ride into town from M, back to H's house. M gets a phone call while they are talking and just leaves. S says she didn't know they were stolen until they were out on the dirt road."

-thanks, you don't leave town, don't talk to the other 2 and hang out with better friends.

car#2 is recovered half mile in the woods from the other one. no keys front windows busted out.

now proving that H got into the house. he is the main guy. C is not smart enough.
