Suspicious Man
A 46-year-old man who just purchased a house in the 2800 block of Flossmoor Road told police that he arrived to remove a Realtor's box around 9:30 a.m. and found a suspicious man in his driveway. Before leaving, the man reportedly told the homeowner that he used to live in the home. Police said the suspicious man—described as black, about 26 to 33 years old, 6-feet tall, with a slender build—drove a green Ford Ranger with a refrigerator and large scraps of metal in the bed. The homeowner told police that several screws holding the padlock on his front door had been tampered with.
