Police: Minors Cited at Bloomfield Township House Party; Paintings Stolen From Basement

Bloomfield Township

Officers with the Bloomfield Township Police Department issued multiple citations for underage drinking and drug possession after breaking up a house party last week, reports said.

Neighbors in the 6200 block of Indianwood Trail called police just before midnight on Nov. 30 for a possible party involving minors. Officers responded and spoke to some teens they saw in the area who confirmed a party with alcohol was under way. They asked to enter the home, but were denied, and then came back with a search warrant, reports said.

Once inside the home, officers found four 17-year-old boys in possession on alcohol. They cited three with being minors in possession turned them over to family members or guardians, police said. The fourth teen — who lived at the residence — was cited for hosting an open house party, and was turned over to his attorney on scene.

Police also cited the two teens police detained outside the party with marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, and being minors in possession, reports said. Court dates are pending.

Attempted Home Invasion

A resident in the 4000 block of Chimney Point arrived home and found heavy damage to a door on Nov. 29, police reports said. No entry was gained due to a deadbolt lock on the door. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood but could not develop a description of the suspect or suspects. The incident remains under investigation.

Paintings stolen from home
