In spite of continued melting on main roads today, secondary roads in subdivisions and city sidewalks remain completely covered with snow and ice. This will lead to unsafe conditions for students riding school buses and walking to schools. Therefore the EVSC will be CLOSED Thursday, January 18, 2018. Specific information on making up these snow days will be sent home when school resumes. This will include a combination of scheduled make-ups days and virtual make-up days. Thank you.

The Evansville Police is attempting to identify two male suspects in a theft from Lowes on Evansville’s east side. Theft occurred in December.

Still framed images show that the individuals entered the store and purchased an iRobot vacuum cleaner. The suspects then returned to the store and grabbed another iRobot vacuum and began to exit the store.

The suspects showed the previous receipt for the actual purchased vacuum to a store attendant to pass it off as a lawful purchase. If you have any information on the suspects’ identity contact EPD or the We Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME.

Detectives in EPD’s Auto-theft division are attempting to locate suspects from a December theft of a 1990 blue Cadillac Seville. The theft occurred in the 1900 block of Colts Ln.

Still framed photos show three individuals enter the property and get into the Cadillac, which was not mobile. The subjects then appear to load the Cadillac onto a trailer and then exit. It appears that the individuals utilized a silver pick-up truck and a green or teal pick-up truck during the incident.

If you have any information on the identity of these individuals or recognize any of the vehicles they used, we are asking that you contact Detective Sides at 436-7968 or the We Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME.
