A message from our Neighborhood Sergeant

This particular information caught my eye and I wanted to relay it to the Highlands Community.  While there is no specific information that leads us to believe the Highlands is at risk, proper crime prevention and “target hardening” techniques should be followed.   

In the past week there have been two housebreaks in the Strawberry Hill area, a neighborhood that had experienced no breaks yet in 2008. The first break, on Blanchard Rd. took place between 5.27.08 and 5.30.08. The SP(s) broke a window, reached into unlock the main lock, and then pried the deadbolt open. The residence was ransacked, but nothing was reported missing. The second break, on Grove St. took place between 14:00-15:00 on 6.2.08. Entry was gained through an unlocked door in the garage and over $5000 worth of digital cameras and camera equipment was taken.  

If anyone has any questions, give me a call. Jim
