Two officers with the department of Public Safety observed two suspicious persons in the parking lot at 485 Patterson. The officers witnessed the suspects getting into a car and stopped the vehicle. Since the suspects could not give a reason for being in the parking lot, they allowed the officers to search the vehicle.
The officers found checkbooks, driver's licenses and credit cards that belonged to three females that were not there. The only explanation the suspects could give was that they borrowed the car. The officers contacted the women whose names were on the possessions.
While the officers were making a report with the Germantown police department, one of the suspects asked for his cigarettes from the front seat of the truck. The officer retrieved the cigarettes and found inside the pack a glass tube with black residue, which the suspect said was a crack pipe.
The officers returned the checkbooks and other stolen items to the victims.
