Theft is a common crime that involves taking someone else's property without their consent with the intention of permanently depriving the rightful owner of it. Theft can range from shoplifting to grand larceny and can result in both civil and criminal penalties.

Assault is another crime that is frequently reported to the police. Assault refers to any intentional harm or threat of harm inflicted upon another person. It can be classified as either common assault, which involves physical contact, or assault with intent to cause harm, which involves the use or threat of a weapon.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the police or Crimestoppers anonymously.

It is important to note that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
