Holiday Crime Watch----

The holiday season is, unfortunately, a time of increased criminal
activity targeting both businesses and homes. Here are some alerts
from nearby neighborhoods.

Have a safe and happy holiday -- and call 911 immediately if you see
anything suspicious or strange!


- - - - - From Forest Hills Security Patrol:

There have been a couple of break-ins in the last couple of days.
It's time to get into Crime Watch Mode.

We do not know all the details yet, but wanted to raise an alert
immediately.

Sadly, a neighbor on Eustis came home from work with her child to find
her front door had been kicked in (this is a
second break-in within months!) and all the Christmas gifts were
stolen, computers, TVs. children's toys and other personal
possessions. They spent some time there. Someone stole her child's
Christmas of hard earned gifts. Our hearts go out to our neighbor.

Because the holiday season is a high crime time, we are asking all of
you to get into a crime watch mode by keeping an eye out for your
neighbors and their homes.

If you are home during the day, keep an eye out for suspicious
activity. If you are driving around looking at lights, keep your cell
phone handy.

Call 911 first thing about anything suspicious. Don't confront the
criminal directly and don't wait to call 911.

Secure your doors, set your alarm on while you are away from your
home, even for a short time. Make your home a tough target for a lazy
crook.

Get a license plate number and as many details that you can. Watch
out for your neighbors. Together we can fight crime.

Let's all have a safe and happy holiday.

On Friday there was a break-in on the 7100 block of Coronado. The
homeowner was in the back yard working and the criminals kicked in the
front door in the middle of the afternoon. We are working on long-
term solutions but we need to work on this now. If you see anything
unusual or suspicious write down license plate numbers and
descriptions and call 911. I would ask that each person getting this
email talk to your neighbor on each side and let them know what's
going on and encourage them to be observant of what's going on in the
neighborhood. If we work together we can reverse this trend.
