Message from Forest Hills Security Program

Neighbors:

The report below is from one of our off duty police
officers who patrols for The Forest HIlls Security Program and who
has us ever present in his mind. This report shows the perfect
example of the importance of getting a license plate number when you
see something or someone suspicious. Keep your eyes open and a pad
of paper and pen in your car and near your phone!

A burglary of an open garage occurred on Oct 20 (Sat) at 6 pm in the
8200 block of San Leandro. The homeowner saw the burglar in his
garage and the suspect ran off and got into a 1989 Toyota, blue,
License 5YRNW. The vehicle was driven by a second unidentified
suspect. The homeowner got the license number as they drove away and
called 911. Responding on-duty officers quickly began searching,
since they had a license plate to look for and within 30 minutes had
the vehicle stopped and the burglary suspect captured. The homeowner
positively identified the passenger as the person he saw inside his
garage. This person has a significant criminal record and was placed
in jail for Burglary of a Habitation. The suspect had dropped the
property he was stealing, so there was no loss to the homeowner.
Good work by the homeowner who had the presence of mind to get a good
car description, INCLUDING LICENSE NUMBER! The driver was placed in
jail for a variety of "little" traffic charges and the car was towed
to our pound. Dallas Report number 695200-T

Arrested: Ushun Barton B/M/28 of Terrell Texas and Tommy Morgan B/M/
48.
