A routine week kept the Liberty Lake Police Department busy from April 25 through May 2. There were five arrests for driving with a suspended license and one person wanted on a warrant.

A few vehicle prowls were reported during the week. One in the 23000 block of Colony Court resulted in the loss of motorcycle riding equipment and tools. A person’s company-owned laptop was stolen from a car in the 1200 block of North Madson. Someone drove away from the Zip Trip without paying for $150 in gas. A purse was stolen from an unlocked car parked inside an open garage.

An officer was patrolling near Allsport after recent thefts and spotted someone near the business. The person was asked to leave the area.

During the week officers gave out four citations for license and plates required, four for failure to show proof of liability insurance, three for defective muffler, two for failure to stop at a stop sign and three for speeding. An additional citation was given for speeding in a construction zone.
