Luggage stolen, potential identity theft and Grand River Avenue lane closure

July 9, 2014

Road Closure

The outside westbound lane of Grand River Avenue between Bailey Street and Division Street will be closed July 10 and July 11 during daylight hours.

East Lansing Department of Public Works is installing water taps in the area and the lane will provide space for trucks and equipment.

All motorists should use caution or seek an alternate route.

Larceny

A theft occurred at the East Lansing Amtrak Station on Harrison Road near Trowbridge Road between 10:30 p.m. and 10:35 p.m. on June 29.

A 22-year-old female had a rollaway bag stolen. The bag contained miscellaneous clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and an iPad 2. The estimated total of her missing items was around $1,300.

A 56-year-old Lansing resident left one piece of luggage at the station and police consider him a suspect.

The report is under investigation.

Identity Theft

A 29-year-old graduate student residing at Spartan Village was a victim of attempted identity theft.

The student received a letter from the IRS telling her to contact the agency regarding a problem with her filed tax return. She hadn’t yet filed her tax return, so she knew someone tried to file under her identity, police said.

There have been no damages yet, and the victim is unsure how someone obtained her information.
