Blotter | Hill burglar buster on CNN, bump carjack warning, Harvard homicide, table thief

‘Ripped-off Capitol Hill kid’ on CNN: Remember that kid who used an “app” to help East Precinct cops bust a man for breaking into his E Boston St house? We’re told he’ll be appearing on CNN with Anderson Cooper soon.
Beware bump carjackings: East Precinct is warning community groups about “bump” style carjackings after an attempt in the Central District last week in which a woman was targeted by two men who were eventually foiled by her keyless starter. More from the precinct soon but, in the meantime, go ahead and drive to a lit, safe place if you are in a collision in an area where you might be vulnerable.

Harvard Ave homicide update? After identifying the victim in the January 17th Harvard Ave shooting death last week, CHS has been told that there might be more information released in the Darek Darewski murder case soon.
Burglaries: A thief made off with engagement rings, a digital camera, a laptop and credit cards after busting a window pane to gain entry to a house in the 1700 block of 21st Ave on Tuesday. A burglary Monday night at an apartment building in the 1600 block of 14th Ave didn’t seem to yield much as residents reported that their storage units had been rifled through but nothing appeared to be missing. The complainant told police that homeless people had been found sleeping in the storage area in the past. Finally, a January 24th rip-off on First Hill wasn’t reported until last week. The case? A man was seen entering numbers from his cellphone into the security code panel of a building in the 1100 block of 8th Ave. Once inside, the man grabbed a table from the lobby and left out the front door, table and all.
