From their Neighborhood Watch:

For those who missed last night’s Civic Association Meeting, Detective Dewberry of the 2nd Precinct gave a very informative talk about the crimes in our neighborhood over Labor Day weekend.  Several juveniles have been arrested, 2 from our neighborhood, and have admitted to three house break ins, mailbox vandalism and car window breakage.  They teamed up with juveniles from other neighborhoods and went on a spree including stealing beer from a 7-11 and stealing baseball bats from Cox High School.  The parents were very cooperative.  The new house on Maple St. sustained approximately $20,000 – $30,000 damage and the other had various items stolen which will likely be recovered.  If any crimes from Sept 5 have not been reported, please contact Det. Dewberry at 385-2700.  You can also contact Det. Dewberry for questions pertaining to the crimes in our neighborhood.  Our Crime Prevention Officer, MPO Helen Gillespie was also present and talked to us about solicitors.  She showed us a solicitors permit and will send us a copy for insertion in the Skipjack.
