National Night Out (and entering autos at Perimeter Mall)

Good Afternoon Everyone,

 

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer this year. 

 

I would like to invite everyone out to Target, 100 Perimeter Center Place, in reference to National Night Out.  The 27^th annual NNO will be held on Tuesday, August 3^rd in the Target parking lot(6-9PM).  The Dunwoody Police and the DeKalb Fire Department will be in attendance.  They will also have food for everyone to enjoy.  Also, if you plan on having a NNO in your neighborhood, please let me know.  I will have an officer come out and speak to your community. 

 

Just a side note.  We have had a rash of entering autos around the Perimeter Mall area recently.  We made an arrest last week on an individual that was still in the area (victims property in hand).  The suspect(s) would case the area and find the cars with laptops and GPS units exposed. If he was confronted, he claimed that he was raising money for his “football team”.  They will obviously take a donation for their fake team, so if someone does ask you, please call us to come out.  If he was not confronted, he would go back, break out the window, and take the property.  He was breaking out the window with a “spring loaded window punch”.  They are extremely quiet!

From a neighboring watch captain: NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY ALERT - 3:30 P.M., 7/9/10

BE ON THE LOOKOUT!
I have just been notified by a most reliable source that there was a white van, Tag #BLY8133, containing three (3) black males, cruising Forrestal Drive taking pictures of individual houses with a cell phone. 
When approached by the resident, they became very belligerent.  They made a second pass taking pictures of the same houses a second time. 
DeKalb County and Chamblee Police have been notified.  The DeKalb  County Police were in the neighborhood within five minutes of being notified.  A DeKalb Officer committed to keep me in the information loop should he or other officers in the immediate area make contact with the van itself.
If I receive additional information, I will forward it to you immediately.  If you receive no further information, the van has abandoned our neighborhood.
Folks, this serves as a good example of how we as neighbors should be working to cover each others "blind side".  Action like this makes us "own our neighborhood" and we can build a reputation for being a place where criminals can't succeed.
If you see this van with tag #BLY8133, call 911 immediately.__,_._,___
