Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The 810’s Community Update
This past two
weeks, we have three significant hot-prowl burglary incidents to report:
On 01-21-13, between 2200-0425 hours, an unknown suspect(s)
removed the victim’s living room window screen and entered her apartment (4500
34th St.) while she was asleep.
The suspect(s) took her 42” Sony flatscreen TV. There are no witnesses to the crime and no
one is in custody.
On 1-22-2013 during the early morning hours, unknown
suspect(s) entered 4600 33rd St #4 while the victim was asleep
inside. The suspect(s) took a DVD player, a Dell computer, purse, wallet and a
set of keys. Entry was made by unknown means.
On 1-22-13 at 0410 hours, two unknown male suspects entered
an apartment at 4400 Cherokee while the male victim slept inside. The victim awoke to the suspects trying to
steal the TV. The suspect threw the TV
at the victim, striking him in the face.
Both suspects fled out the door.
One is described as a heavy-set Hispanic adult male.
The following is a
list of residential burglary cases that occurred within the last two weeks:

Hot-prowl
burglaries are bold and dangerous, but pretty rare. The three cases on Beat 811 are certainly
cause for concern. The suspects are
usually caught when an alert resident reports window tampering or other
suspicious behavior. If you see or hear
anything suspicious in the middle of the night, please call 911 right
away. Have a phone near the bed, and
keep all windows and doors locked when sleeping.
Thank
you,
