Sept. 7, 5700 block of Holmes Boulevard, suspicious circumstances. A Holmes Beach police officer met with a complainant who said she found an Apple AirTag on her rental vehicle. The officer contacted the rental company and spoke with a representative, who could not answer if the device was owned by the company. The HBPD officer provided the complainant with a case card, removed the AirTag and placed it in storage.
Sept. 7, 400 block of 72nd Street, bicycle accident. An officer spoke with a boy’s parents, who said their son was riding in the 7400 block of Marina Drive when he was clotheslined at neck-level by a rope. Manatee County Emergency Medical Services and West Manatee Fire Rescue responded and found there was no medical emergency necessitating transport to a hospital. The officer found the rope between a bush and a utility box and nothing “indicated to us that the rope was put up for an illegitimate, malicious or criminal purpose,” according to a report.
