East Amherst · Partridge Run

“Break-in” at 32 Partridge Run turns out to be a sister-in-law dropping by to grab baby clothes

At 09:58, a homeowner watched a security camera live and phoned Amherst PD to report a woman — white female in white shorts and a green shirt — walking in the front door of 32 Partridge Run[*]. Dispatch escalated on the strength of the video, and units rolled Code 3.

Ninety seconds later the caller circled back on the phone: “possibly a sister-in-law now, but she’s not sure”. When officers pieced it together with the caller’s husband, the story was that the intruder was named Angela, “she’s picking up some baby clothes”. Dispatch closed the loop: “sounds like we’re supposed to be picking up baby clothes”. The call ended without arrest.

Caller: “a burner was left on in the apartment and it is still on”. Fire’s plan on the air was elegantly deadpan: “put it right at the door and just blow it out”.

Ripley reported “zero reading” at both the entry point and the barrels. In the middle of the operation, dispatch dropped a note to units to “Call 988”, the nationwide mental-health crisis line — whether for a member of the public or a crew, the radio didn’t elaborate.
