Billfold, chainsaws stolen
January 22, 2017
Earlier this month an Alva woman reported the theft of items from her vehicle. According to the police report, Lydia Scalise who lives in the 900 block of Center Street said on Wednesday, Jan. 4, she found that someone had broken into her SUV overnight. She said she usually locks it but was unsure if she had done so the previous night.
When she went to her vehicle the next morning to go to work, she found it had been rummaged through. She had left her purse on the floorboard of the SUV passenger side. She found it in the passenger seat with her wallet missing.
Scalise said there was no cash in the wallet but it contained two credit cards, a debit card and her Social Security card.
Alva Police Officer Sean Farris investigated. He found no signs of forced entry on the vehicle.
Chainsaws Stolen
On Saturday, Jan. 7, Alva Police Officer Patrick Hawley took a report of some stolen chainsaws. The theft occurred sometime between Jan. 1 and Jan. 7 in the 1700 block of Oklahoma Boulevard.
Jimmy Dene Wiersig of Alva made the report about 6:10 p.m. He said his employee called him and said they had some chainsaws stolen. The employee said he had been at a local convenience store when he saw four chainsaws in the back of a blue Ford Ranger pickup with a black stripe down the side. The employee said he recognized the chain aws as belonging to Wiersig.
The employee said he confronted the pickup driver, described as a blond white male, and started grabbing chainsaws out of the pickup. The employee said the driver did not argue but got in his pickup and drove off south on Noble Street.
Wiersig showed Officer Hawley the location of the building he is remodeling in the 1700 block of Oklahoma Boulevard. He said the chainsaws had been stored there. He said he kept the building locked unless he knows he will be in and out.
Wiersig is still missing two Stihl chainsaws with 14 inch bars, and one of the guards is broken.
Officer William Shahan went to the convenience store to view video camera footage, but there was no footage of the area where the pickup had been parked.
