Gas Tank Drained; Sewage Leak: Croton Police

Here are some of the recent incidents to which the Croton Police Department responded.

Jan. 24: 10 a.m.—A Riverside Avenue caller told police he found his gas cap on the ground near his car—and the gas tank was empty. It was one-quarter full when he parked it the night before, he said. 

Jan. 25: 2:12 p.m.—Several village employees reported a burning odor in the Municipal Building. Responders determined it was caused by a malfunction in a heating unit. 

2:42 p.m.—A caller from the UPS Store said a woman had left without paying for copies. Responding officers learned the customer had ordered the copies by email and, when arriving to pick them up, had said she didn't like the quality and left. Police advised the businessperson how to take the matter up in civil court.
