In police reports from Oct. 5, someone called DuBois City Police to report that they saw a man get out of a pickup truck, carrying a chain and walking towards another woman’s vehicle. When the man saw the caller sitting in another vehicle nearby, he got back in his truck and left.

Also police got a concerned call for a woman who was walking with her child, and the child had no coat on. Police searched the area but did not locate the woman or the child.

In another case, however, DuBois City Police were able to get a dog back to its home. They got a call about a loose dog and followed the animal back to a house, where the door was open. A woman appeared at the door and told police that she had been in the shower and didn’t realize the door was open. She closed the door, with the dog safely back inside.
