About $7,800 in items and auto parts were reported stolen Nov. 6 from their Elizabeth Avenue storage site.
Police said the items belonged to Capitol Landscaping, which was storing items in the rear yard of DeSantis Construction.
Taken were three truck batteries from pickup trucks, each of which was valued at $300, police said.
