Police Alert - neighborhood burglaries
There have been break-ins and attempted break-ins in the last 2 weeks in our neighborhood during daylite hours. In one instance the suspects were a white male and a black male working together (we're working on getting additional information).
The police ask that we make sure to lock all doors and windows and to keep garage doors closed. Also, please occasionally take a look out your windows and pay attention to who's driving/walking by.
Please be alert and report anyone suspicious to the police by calling 911 (someone seeming out of place, someone peeking in windows or banging on doors). "Don't try to talk yourself out of calling the police" -- Kevin, Crime Prevention Officer. If in doubt, call 911 and they'll check on whomever seems out of place and make sure things are as they should be. Being cautious is nothing to be embarrassed about.
The police have stepped up their patrols of our area and are also using unmarked regular cars to patrol (and they actually like it if someone calls 911 to report them driving around as suspicious as it shows that the neighborhood is paying attention).
We will be getting more timely information from the police department in the future and more quickly get this out to everyone.
