Bag, Syringe, Tin
Police on bikes were patrolling a parking lot in the 9200 block of 159th Street, when they saw a man sitting in the passenger seat of a car, looking down and he threw a piece of garbage out of the window, around 6:20 p.m. The man was quiet and trembling as police spoke with him, and he had a black pocketknife clipped to his belt, police said. When police asked the man to put his hands on the car, he did so at first, but then started backing away into the officers, and resisted as they went to take away the knife, police said.

I hope people are paying attention to these police blotters in the area. Anyone who doesn't think there is a heroin problem in Orland and Tinley had better wake up soon.
