Aggressive walking

7:15 p.m., 567 Bay Isles Drive

Suspicious person: Police were called to a place of worship on a Friday evening after an employee reported a suspicious person.

Dispatch relayed to officers that a person was walking around a synagogue’s parking lot in the rain. When police arrived on scene, the employee described to officers that a man wearing dark clothes was walking “in an aggressive manner” around the property, prompting them to call police. Officers canvassed the area looking for the suspicious person but found nobody matching the description at or near the synagogue. As a precaution, officers remained on scene until all attendees had left the grounds. Officers saw nothing of note and closed the case later that night.

Bathsheba on video?

10:40 a.m., 5800 block Gulf of Mexico Drive

Suspicious incident: A resident was bathing nude on her balcony at a residence on Gulf of Mexico Drive when she told police she noticed a worker at the property next door filming her.

Concerned about her privacy, the resident called police to report the purported unsolicited videoing. She was sitting in a kiddie pool overlooking the ocean with just a towel around her when she noticed the purported onlooker, and had recently been skinny-dipping and walking around the balcony nude. 

Officers went next door to talk to the man who had reportedly been filming the sunbather. He told police he was installing windows at the property and taking pictures of the finished glass installation to show his boss and offered to show officers his camera roll.

Upon inspection, no pictures or videos of the nude bather were seen on the phone, but there were several pictures of installed windows. 

Police went next door to inform the complainant. She said she was relieved there were no pictures or videos of her, but that she still believed he was filming her.

Police closed the case.

Unsolicited number sharing

3:45 p.m., 3760 Gulf of Mexico Drive

Suspicious incident: Police were called by a woman who was sick and tired of her phone number being shared without her permission.

The woman said her male friend continuously shared her number with people and that it happened again after her and another friend had gone out to a restaurant the night before. She told police her male friend once again gave her phone number to another man without her consent. Police called the number-sharer to inform him of the situation. When it had been determined that there were no threats or violence between the two friends, police closed the case.
