Suburban Acres Neighborhood Watch Alert!

ALERT (received from a neighbor):

March 30:  A man has been going door-to-door in the rain, not carrying anything (if selling).  

Description:  Black male, approximately 6 ft tall, wearing a black jacket, khaki pants, and a red tie.   Police have been notified.

Neighbors were approached yesterday (3/29) by a young black woman who was supposedly selling magazines — though she wasn’t carrying anything.

REMEMBER:  We must be vigilant in our efforts to deter criminial activity in our neighborhood.  REPORT ANYONE and ANYTHING you think is unusual.   DO NOT open your door to strangers.

Secure your homes and vehicles.  Look after one another — know your neighbors and share information with them, i.e. “I’m going out of town this weekend”, or “I’m having contractors at the house”. 

This way, we know what to expect in our community.  It’s not being nosey…it’s being SAFE!

Home invasions on the rise in Greater Wards Corner neighborhoods

The following text originally appeared on the wardscornernow.com web page on March 25, 2011:

In the past two weeks there have been several attempted and successful break-ins of homes in Greater Wards Corner neighborhoods. Suburban Acres, Restmere and Talbot Park have all reported incidents. It appears that these violators are walking and driving around looking for opportunities and casing the neighborhoods. In order to reduce this type of crime, listed below are a few suggestions made by the Norfolk Police:

  •  Make sure that you keep all doors and windows locked at all times.
  •  Do not open doors to strangers; especially if they are soliciting something.
  • If you have an alarm system, use it. If it’s broken, fix it. 
  • If you see something suspicious, strangers going door to door or unusual activity, please call the police with good and accurate information. 911

Communication will be key in alerting our neighbors and the police of suspicious activity. Call 911 first and when you get the chance, please send Louis Eisenberg at unclouie@gmail.com an email to describe the activity in order that it be posted on Wards Corner Now.

———– end ———–

Additionally, you are encouraged to send information to saclneighborhoodwatch@gmail.com Ray Henson (SACL neighborhood watch coordinator), and suburbanacres@gmail.com to have information posted on suburban23505.com.

If you’re not already on the neighborhood watch email distribution…contact Ray. 

Be safe…and look out for eachother.
