evaluations during the week.

PATROL/DETECTIVES:

On Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13,

the department received multiple vandalismcomplaints around Carlton Avenue in the

300 through 1000 blocks. Officers noted that

several items, including cars, had been

painted. More than 30 cars were vandalized.The paint appears to be a light tan color

from a can and not spray paint. Officers

went door to door waking residents as thepaint was still wet asking them to wash their

cars and property so as to not further

damage it. The department is asking for the

public's help. Anyone having informationregarding the vandalism is asked to contact

our office at 218-879-1247 or through our

social network sites, Nixle tool via ourFacebook page or by texting "cloquetpd" to

In the early morning hours on Tuesday,officers responded to the Savanna PalletCompany where it was reported that an

employee witnessed a former employee

jump the chain-link fence onto the businessproperty. The witness confronted the man

who then ran to his vehicle driving

away towards 14

th

Street. The witnessthen noticed one of the garage doors tothe business was open and that pieces

of steel had been moved and pushed

through the fence. Through theinvestigation officers were able to

identify a residence in the City of

Cloquet where they spoke to the

suspect's girlfriend who told them thather boyfriend was in the basement of

the residence. Officers entered the

home where they found the suspect inthe the basement hiding under a fuel

tank.

The suspect was arrested and taken tothe Carlton County Law Enforcement

Center. A search warrant was obtained

for the residence by detectives andthey were able to locate several items
