A male was reported trying to steal tools from a person unknown to him. The owner confronted the suspect, and the male ran off, dropping a large amount of break open lottery tickets.
A second call for service was received regarding an unknown male who had attempted to get into a residence, but had left the area prior to police arrival.
A call was also received from a corner store advising that a male had stolen their bins of broken open lotto tickets.
Police then received a fourth call of the male who had forced entry into a home and had caused property damage. Police located the male outside the residence. He resisted arrest.
