Young lovers, turned litterbugs, agreed to clean up their mess after Buffalo Grove police informed them the residents near the secluded parking lot they used for a sexual encounter were tired of seeing used condoms on the ground, according to a recent police report.
Buffalo Grove police said a resident of an apartment complex in the 300 block of Riverwalk Drive called officers at 7:30 p.m. May 13 to report some unsightly findings in the parking lot. He told the responding officers there were “a male and female subject in the back seat of a car fornicating.”
The caller told police the parking lot commonly is used for such acts, and it has led to a decent “amount of garbage (used condoms) that is often found in the parking lot,” the report read.
Lt. Tom Nugent later wrote in an email that the area is well known by both lovers and police.
Nugent said the lot “has a wooded area on two sides with a flat open area which gives clear vision of approaching vehicles. This seclusion gives the illusion of privacy and warning of anyone approaching.”
The police found the couple — a man and woman in their 20s — in the parking lot. Nugent said the couple spotted the approaching police officers and were able to get back into “some degree of modesty.”
“Both subjects admitted to ‘hooking up’ as to their purpose for being here,” the police report read.
Nugent explained the officers let the couple go because the apartment does not have a posted “no trespassing” sign, the caller did not wish to press charges and the couple had covered themselves before police made contact with them. But after talking with police, the lovers agreed to stop littering.
“Both subjects agreed to clean up what they had littered in the parking lot,” the officer wrote in the report. “They were strongly cautioned about their activities.”
