Quote from dede p. on 04/29/10 at 9:01am:I was wondering if anyone could confirm that there was a break-in this week at a house on Shades Crest near Chapel Road? I heard it happened during the day and some electronics were stolen.
Below is a portion of an e-mail we received today:
There has been yet another break-in up here in Bluff Park.
This makes the 3rd one (that I know of) in 3 weeks.
One on Park Ave….One on Brookview…One on Shades Crest….
They all happened during day light hours.
One home had people at home when they tried to bust down the door….
They are taking tv’s, electronics, etc.
I am not trying to scare anyone but we all need to be very aware of our surroundings.
Watch the cars and people on your street.
Tell your neighbors…Pass this e-mail on so everyone up here is aware.
There are many stay-at-home moms on this e-mail list and you need to make sure your doors are locked during the day. We've forwarded it to HPD and are awaiting a response, which we will post on here when we receive it.
Those of you who are not yet part of a Neighborhood Watch group...now would be a good time to get started.
Follow the instructions found here:
http://www.bluffparkal.org/neighborhood_watch.htm As HPD has said before:
IF YOU SEE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS, PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HOOVER PD AT EITHER 911 OR 822-5300 TO REPORT IT. THEY CAN'T INVESTIGATE IF THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. AND THEY DON'T MIND COMING OUT.
