At HAND’s January meeting, Southeast Crime Prevention Coordinator Havilah Ferschweiler and area patrol officers provided updated information on crime in the neighborhood.
Over the last month, there have been 4 burglaries in the HAND neighborhood, three of which were at homes either during the night or late evening. The suspects stole jewelry, cameras, workout equipment, etc. Officers say in the home burglaries, access was made through a back window. The fact that so many homes were hit this month brings up a great reminder: please light the back of your homes and keep both windows and doors locked at all times. The homes were not occupied during the burglaries, but it’s a good reminder to keep it safe. More »
