On Saturday, Dec. 17, 2016, the Midland Police Service received a call from an east side resident reporting that an ex-partner had just entered the house and stole a cell phone.
Police responded to the residence at approximately 8 p.m. and spoke to the complainant. Police were informed that the suspect attended the residence and entered unannounced.
