Police investigated another string of larcenies from parked cars this week, this time on Scanlan Way and Winged Thistle Court. Two vehicles parked on Scanlan Way were damaged while a thief stole wallets and credit cards from inside, and a woman reported that her car appeared to have been rifled through upon investigating a noise her daughter heard in the garage.
In addition to the vehicle larcenies, officers are investigating a case of debit card fraud involving a bank and two reports of vandalism to personal vehicles. A Cornelius man was arrested for DWI and other charges after hitting a street sign and a vehicle traveling in the opposing lane of traffic, as well.
Details on these incidents and others (along with a tally of the week’s arrests, citations, and traffic enforcement) may be found below. Read the full story

Davidson and Cornelius firefighters were called to a kitchen fire around 9 p.m. Thursday in an apartment in the Davidson Gateway area, and discovered it may have been started by a house cat. A bag of bread on top of a toaster ignited while the residents were away, and a Mecklenburg County fire marshal speculated the apartment’s cat may have depressed the “toast” button and triggered the incident. The apartment’s sprinkler system quickly extinguished the fire, but firefighters were on scene for around 90 minutes helping to ventilate the apartment and limit water damage. Details on this call and others (along with a tally of the week’s medical calls) may be found below. Read the full story
