The crime reports for August 2011 are below. Again a fairly average month overall, though a few items of interest. There has been a slight uptick in auto thefts. In the past, 7-8 per month was not uncommon, but over the last two years, we’d gotten down to almost none. We’ve had four auto thefts (or attempted) each of the last two months. On at least two of the incidents this month, the theives were unsuccessful but they did cause damage to the vehicle. Don’t forget about our National Night Out at Tietze Park coming up on Oct 4th. Be looking for the flyer on your doorstep with more information.   Continue reading “August 2011 Crime Reports”

We had another fairly light month in crime activity. The problem with auto thefts we saw last month seems to have moved on, none this month. Although we had a typical number of car break-ins, only 4 of those occurred in the neighborhood. The rest occurred in parking lots.  There was a robbery in a parking lot near the Dubliner/Grape area. Two women were punched and their property taken while walking to their car. While we occassionally have robberies north of McCommas and south of Belmont, it is very unusual inbetween. I haven’t seen any similar incidents since. Please try to attend the LGNA Fajita Fest on Tuesday July 19th if you can. We’ll meet at Greenland Hills United Methodist Church, Penrose @ Delmar at 7pm. Our Extended Neighborhood Patrol officer will be there to discuss any issues you might have. And feel free to enter the dessert contest if you like, you might win a prize!

The crime reports for May are below.  I apologize for the delay this month, the computers at DPD were having trouble. This was a fairly average month with the exception of auto thefts where we had a spike. Continue reading “May 2011 Crime Report”
