Apartments Complex Employee Victimized

A Baldwin Borough police officer went to The Residences of South Hills apartments complex leasing office at around 2:45 p.m. on Saturday in response to a theft report.

According to the police report of the incident, the victim—a Residences employee—said that she left her BlackBerry cellphone in the top drawer of her desk when she left that desk at around 2:20 to show an apartment to a potential tenant.

But when she returned to the desk at around 2:30, she said, the phone was no longer there.

The police officer spoke with another woman working in the office at the time, who said that she did not see anyone take the phone. However, she did report that several other people came in and out of the leasing office while the victim was away.

The BlackBerry is valued at approximately $330.

The incident is under investigation.
