Crime Report: August 9-15, 2012

This week we had no home burglaries and three UBEVs (Unlawful Breaking and Entering Vehicles). 

Our home burglaries are still down compared to the last three years, but a couple of bad weeks could put us close to those years. Please call if you see any suspicious vehicles cruising the neighborhoods or any suspicious person walking.

The first and second UBEVs occurred on Wynward Road between 11 p.m. on August 8 and 11 a.m. on August 9. The victim left his golf clubs in his unlocked vehicle, and they were taken. Another vehicle was left unlocked in the same driveway and checks were taken from it.

The third UBEV should have been reported a couple of weeks ago. The victim reported it on August 11. It occurred on Randolph Place during the night on July 30. Clothes and a Visa credit card were taken from an unlocked vehicle.

Our officers are writing tickets for texting while driving. Texting while driving is a dangerous thing to do. It used to be that when you saw a car weaving on the highway, it was a drunk driver. Now, it is difficult to distinguish whether the driver is drunk or texting. Both are dangerous.
