* A firm that monitors for identity theft wasn't enough to secure the account of a resident of the 8200 block of Fondray Court.

*A resident of the 600 block of Division Street reported felony identity theft after receiving a call from a car rental firm saying she hadn't returned a car rented with her information. The car had been rented in Burbank. The incident was reported at about 3:38 p.m. Nov. 14.

* Fifteen brassieres worth a total of $825 were stolen in a grab-and-run burglary at Victoria's Secret in the Stoneridge Shopping Center between 3:34 and 3:47 p.m. Nov. 15. A Hispanic male distracted a store employee while the woman, also Hispanic, made off with the bras.

The arrest followed a pedestrian stop after police spotted Dachauer with his pants around his knees at a bus stop near Walmart.
