Police had to bring out a K9 unit to assist in an arrest that occurred at 5:38 pm at Washington Avenue and Lewelling Boulevard. The incident arose from a traffic stop and an attempted flight by the suspect.
The spate of auto burglaries were reported from all over town but two were discovered on the 1000 block of MacArthur Boulevard just a few minutes on either side if 8 pm.
The rash of car break ins, especially along MacArthur, prompted police to issue this advisory:
Within the past couple of weeks officers have documented several automotive burglaries that occurred in the N/E section of our city. The suspects have forced entry into the vehicles by breaking windows and removing valuables.
We need our community’s assistance to prevent and enforce these burglaries. The following are crime prevention tips that will help us resolve this matter:
- Residents should remove valuables from their vehicles. This includes hiding charging cords for their electronic devices. If a suspect locates a vehicle that is locked with a charging cord in view, they will assume there are electronic devices hidden inside the vehicle.
- Park your vehicle in well lit areas.
- Report suspicious activity immediately.
- Educate your neighbors and children.
