ANY OTHER INFORMATION: Officer Schultz responded to David Road on a report of a theft. The victim stated he has an ice cream truck parked there. He received a text message alarm that someone opened the door to his ice cream truck. When he arrived home he looked at the surveillance video. He saw two young males taking 6 assorted cases (24 bars) of ice cream.
As the officers were waiting for the video to be burned for them one of the juveniles came in to turn himself in. After a brief investigation both juvenile males were spoken to and cooperated. They were walking down David Road and saw the ice cream truck. One of them unplugged it so that the ice cream would melt. He noticed that the latch to the ice cream truck was not locked. The two entered the truck and stole the ice cream. They ate some of the ice cream and threw the rest away. A third male was there but did not take part in the burglary. The two were charged on juvenile complaints with Burglary and Theft. They were released to their parents.
