'Small' Dispute, Fake Police Threat: Burr Ridge Cops

BURR RIDGE, IL — In recent weeks, Burr Ridge police handled cases involving a "small" customer dispute, a fake police threat, sign removals, a mistaken 911 call, a complaint about generator noise and a dirt bike rider. Here is information from the latest reports:

'Small' customer dispute

• Police were called about a "small" customer dispute about 2:30 p.m. April 19 at Coda Motors, 60 Shore Drive. When an officer arrived, assistance was no longer needed.

Fake police threat

• A resident on Carriage Way told police April 18 that she received a call that she had a warrant out for her arrest and she must call the person back or the media would be notified. An officer told the resident it was a scam and not to call back.

Signs removed

• An officer removed signs for a baseball league and a lawn mowing service April 15 in the right-of-way in the 7200 block of Wolf Road. Several signs also were removed in the 9100 block of Kingery Highway the next day.

Inquiry about noise rules

• A resident on Ambriance Drive had questions on April 15 about the village's noise ordinance because his neighbors called about outside music at one of his parties. The police gave advice.

Mistaken 911 call

• An officer spoke with three children about 11 p.m. April 15 at Marriott hotel, 1200 Burr Ridge Parkway. The children dialed 911 in error while playing with the phone. Their aunt said everyone was fine.

Generator generates complaint

• A resident in the 400 block of Kirkwood Cove called police about 12:30 a.m. April 16 about a neighbor's generator that was running loudly and keeping him awake. The neighbor was away, but another neighbor had access to the house. The neighbor with the offending generator agreed to have someone go in and turn off the generator. The generator seemed to be turned on in error.

Dirt bike rider

• A resident in the 7900 block of Bucktrail Drive was concerned about a young boy on the block who was riding his dirt bike up and down the street and in the vacant lot next to the house. The boy's mother said she would make sure her 13-year-old son only rides the bike on their property.

Car found near border

• A resident on Glenn Drive told police April 17 that she received a call from an unknown person claiming to be from the National Security Agency. She said she was under investigation because her car was found near the United States-Mexico border. She said she knew the call was a scam, so she did not give away any personal information or suffer any monetary loss.

Donuts in parking lot

• A caller told police about 8 a.m. April 17 that the driver of a gold Jeep was doing donuts in the parking lot at Trinity Lutheran School, 11500 German Church Road. The driver admitted doing burnouts, where a car stays in one place while spinning its wheels. An officer told the person he was not welcome on the church property and would be arrested for trespassing if he returned.

Open fire complaint

• A resident in the 7200 block of Elm Street informed police April 18 that a neighbor was burning leaves in an open fire. The neighbor agreed to put it out.
