Two incident narratives in the excerpted media report highlight theft-related calls but are truncated in the published summary. Case 26-4215, classified as Larceny from Automobile, occurred in the 400 block of N Foxhills Drive on Feb. 25, 2026, at approximately 7:30 p.m. The report records the victim’s account: “he had returned home from the grocery store and was carrying his groceries into his residence when he observed his vehicle’s rear driver side door ajar and an unknown male near his vehicle. The suspect took off running south in the parking lot when he saw the victim. The” and the narrative ends there without further detail on stolen items or suspect description.

Case 26-4446, classified as Retail Fraud, is listed at 2400 S Telegraph Road, Target, on Feb. 28, 2026; the case entry in the report is truncated but includes a township advisory about mailbox crime: “We recommend signing up for the USPS Informed Delivery. If any residents witness suspicious activity at mailboxes please report it to the Bloomfield Township Police Department immediately.”

The weekly media report also cautions readers about the selective nature of the blotter: “This report provides a summary of many arrests, incidents, events and other items of significance occurring in Bloomfield Township. However, it does not include every incident reported to the Police Department. It is possible for publicity to hinder some criminal investigations. In these situations, we do not release information unless it is in the community’s best interest or we are certain it will not compromise an investigation.”

Several case narratives and outcomes are incomplete in the excerpted report.
