Narrative

On September 10, 2023, at approximately 4:30 PM, I, Officer James Smith, was dispatched to 456 Maple Avenue, a private residence, in response to a report of property damage. Upon arrival, I spoke with the property owner, John Williams, who stated that an unknown individual had damaged his property earlier that afternoon.

Williams reported that he had left his home at around 2:00 PM and returned at 3:30 PM to find that the front gate of his residence had been knocked off its hinges. Additionally, his car, which was parked in the driveway, had a large dent on the driver’s side door. Williams suspects the damage may have been caused by a vehicle backing into the gate and hitting the car. No note or information was left by the suspect.

I examined the damaged gate and the vehicle. There were visible tire marks in the grass near the driveway, suggesting a car may have turned around or backed up into the property. No surveillance cameras were available in the area, and no neighbors reported witnessing the incident.

Williams was advised to contact his insurance company and was provided with the report number for reference. No further information was available regarding the identity of the suspect at the time of the report.

Evidence and Property

• Damage: Front gate knocked down, dent on the driver’s side door of the vehicle (2019 Honda Civic, License Plate: ABC123)
• Photographs Taken: Yes (of the damaged gate, vehicle, and tire marks)

Conclusion/Disposition

At this time, no suspect has been identified, and there were no witnesses to the event. The case will remain open pending any new information or leads. Williams was advised to report any additional findings to the department and to follow up with his insurance provider for repairs to the property and vehicle. The case will be reviewed if new evidence arises.
