From stolen photos of flowers to assaults with strange household objects, a few odd and unexpected crimes were reported to the Bloomington Police Department this week. All of the following accounts were collected from BPD:
Stolen flower pictures
A woman reported Monday three 17-by-17 pictures of flowers were stolen from her unlocked vehicle while she was inside a store.
Woman uses unexpected weapon
In an argument over a boyfriend Tuesday, a 26-year-old woman reportedly struck another woman’s car and hit her in the arm with a metal pipe, police said.
The car crash took place at 12th and Monroe streets Tuesday evening. The BPD is seeking a warrant for arrest for the female suspect, who did not respond to phone calls. She could face a charge of misdemeanor battery, BPD Lt. John Kovach said.
Hit in the head with a pan
After being tackled and pummeled to the ground Tuesday by a man he knew, a man reported a woman he knew then hit him in the back of the head with a pan lacerating his head.
Cable fraud
A woman reported that a woman she knew opened a cable account in her name without her permission.
