GARAGE PROWLER: This happened in a garage on 35th and Graham:

At 1:42 a.m. on Wednesday the 8th, a female-looking stranger entered the garage of our building from Graham Street. He wore a dark baseball cap with a circular logo on the front, pulled low over his face, and also wore glasses on his face. They entered our trash room, closed the door behind them, peeked out a few times, and when they left the room after about 15 minutes, their hat and glasses were gone.

They had taken off their pants and put on either shorts or a skirt and were wearing a different t-shirt. They then checked a locked door nearby before exiting the garage and walking north down the alley between 35th and 36th Streets.

This incident # is 24-287961.
