Police Activity in Niles

Just before 1 o'clock this afternoon several officers conducted a probation search on a home near the 3rd Street Park in Niles, according to radio traffic.  Several people were detained and a number of items that may be stolen property, including stolen mail,  were located, according to radio conversations.  A short time later a number of vehicle VIN numbers were run off of Shinn Street by the homeless enforcement sergeant.  I don't know if this was related to the probation search or not, but at least one stolen vehicle was located, either on Shinn or in Niles.  There was a lot of activity between patrol officers and detectives.
