1. LARCENY IN CAVENDISH
On 12/13/13, at approximately 3pm, Vermont State
Police received a theft complaint from David McGuire. McGuire reported that he
arrived at his Vermont residence in the afternoon on this day to find that the
6 packages delivered to his home were missing. McGuire's residence is equipped
with video cameras, which recorded the theft taking place. The theft occurred
on 12/10/13, at approximately 0800 hours. A red SUV style vehicle was seen
driving up Stone Way, in the town of Cavendish, VT, slowly passing McGuire's
residence and then backing into McGuire's driveway. I male subject wearing what
appears to be a winter hat, dark colored jacket and light colored pants exited
his vehicle. The male subject then looks around, opens the rear door of his
vehicle, again looking around the property, then loaded the packages that were
under the deck of McGuire's residence into his vehicle. The male subject then
walks back to the driver's side of his vehicle to retrieve what appears to be a
clipboard and camera. Walks to the end of the driveway and takes a photo of the
residence.

2. CAVENDISH RELATED NEWS
Green Mountain Power Preparing for Weekend Ice Storm: Green
Mountain Power (GMP) is gearing up in preparation for an ice storm that may hit
Vermont on Saturday afternoon and continue into Sunday. According to the
National Weather Service, Vermont may see a mixture of snow, sleet or ice.
Depending
on how the storm develops, a combination of precipitation and freezing
temperatures could cause ice build-up on trees and power lines. When ice
becomes about half an inch thick, tree limbs break and power lines sag, and
outages can be extensive.
“These conditions are very difficult to predict, and
a change of one or two degrees can make all the difference in whether customers
lose power or not,” said Dorothy Schnure, GMP spokesperson. “We are intensely
preparing now so that if outages occur they can be restored as quickly as
possible.”
