Police Blotter: Stolen Phones Not Actually Stolen

A Chesterfield business reported its phones stolen to the Chesterfield Police Department on Oct. 10, but it wasn't thieves who nabbed the devices.

According to Officer Mike Ryffel, a local software company reported that several phones were taken at around noon from the desks in the company's office. 

"It ended up being a repossession due to unpaid bills and was unfounded as a crime," Ryffel said in an email to Patch. 

The following information was supplied by the Chesterfield Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction
