12:54 p.m. Neighbors near Battle Point Park requested more patrols at the park. They said juveniles were driving on the paths at the park, and said there was other suspicious activity.
4:25 p.m. An owner of a local ice cream shop told police that he had been contacted by a Bremerton police detective about a former employee. The employee was recently arrested and found with pictures on her cell phone of fraudulent checks from his business. The checks were never processed so the owner was not out any money.
5:36 p.m. A car parked at a child care center on High School Road was entered and $300 was stolen from inside. The car’s owner left the windows down because of the hot weather after parking the car at 8:35 a.m. The theft was discovered when the owner returned at 5:10 p.m. Money from the glove box — $200 in $5 bills and a $100 bill — was taken.
