Harassing communications, Shaker Boulevard: Officials at Park Synagogue East reported Sept. 4 that they received a non-threatening but harassing letter, purportedly from a Twinsburg-area man, making comments directed to the Rabbi and referencing the Torah. Police contacted the supposed writer, who told them the letter was not his and his name was used fraudulently. He planned to file an identity theft report with his local police, as this is not the first instance of letters being sent out falsely in his name.

Disturbance, disorderly conduct; Chagrin Boulevard: Police were called on the afternoon of Sept. 10 to Orange High School football field for an incident involving a relative of a player and a girlfriend. No further information was available, other than neither party claiming injury.

Theft from building, Muirfield Drive: A contractor from the Chagrin Falls area reported Sept. 9 that someone stole a Milwaukee Sawz-All and battery charger from a local construction site.

Damage to property (private), Lander Road: Police responded to the Beech Brook juvenile facility on Sept. 4, where the owner of a 2009 Acura claimed that he found a "fresh ding" on the back passenger door, with a maroon paint scuff. The responding officer noted that it appeared to match a Buick Regal that had reportedly been parked nearby and had some possibly corresponding paint chips missing from the driver's side door, but upon contacting the owner, she denied it. Police noted that the cars were moved prior to their arrival and that both drivers have the same insurance company.

Identity theft, Hunting Hollow: A resident, 70, reported Sept. 3 that his identity was apparently stolen through a fraudulent filing of State of Ohio income taxes.
