Crime Reports Nov. 5 – 11

SKULDUGGERY OF THE WEEK: THIS FOR THAT

On Nov. 4, a driver in a 2007 white Chevrolet Suburban got one heck of an upgrade when he stole a 2018 white Ferrari GTC4Lusso parked outside of a home in the 3500 block of Beverly Drive. According to a police report, the 6:40 p.m. theft of the nearly $300,000 car wasn’t too hard for the culprit since the keys were left inside. The thief also got away with about $2,000 worth of pain medication. In exchange, he left the damaged Suburban and an open Michelob Ultra.
