Two men may have made off with a lot of free liquor using a bad credit card, Croton police report.
An Old Post Road Liquor store employee reported to police on August 3 that two men had come into the store -- one of them whom he thought was a woman but was not, police said -- and tried to purchase over $462 dollars worth of liquor with a bad credit card.

Motorcycle vs. Car Accident
Minor injuries were reported from an accident between a motorcycle and a car on August 4, police said.
A 911 caller reported a motorcycle crash at 10:47 a.m. on lower Grand Street, with a man possibly injured.
Ambulance arrived but the driver of the Harley Davidson bike refused medical assistance, Sgt. John Nikitopoulos said. He also didn't want his bike towed and said he would take care of removing it himself.
More Dumping
A Maple Street caller reported to police on the evening of August 4 that there was a good amount of broken glass behind her car and she thought someone might be trying to cause damage to her car.
Police found what may have been a broken growler there, which the DPW would clear.
