Attempted Robbery

/in

A house in the 5400 block of Junius was broken into on Monday, May 28, at 10:45 p.m. The vandal(s) entered the back yard of the house ( probably from the vacant lot at the corner of Worth and Augusta), broke a window in the house, and attempted to enter. The alarm sounded and the thief/thieves left and nothing was stolen.

The resident was not at home at the time.

Pack(s) of Dogs Continue to be a Problem

A cat was killed by a pack of dogs in the 5200 block of Victor on Friday, May 25. On Saturday, May 26, four dogs were spotted traveling down Parkmont. Several neighbors called, and animal control responded quickly and was able to capture one of the dogs, a blond male lab mix with black molting. The dog caught is probably not the alpha leader of the group and may have a “tag-along” recruit.

The response was quick by the city and one of the dogs was followed by car until animal control arrived. Even so, the rapid disappearance of the other three dogs may suggest the animals hide underneath houses in the area. Please make sure that entrances to crawl spaces are secure.

By now, all residents in Junius Heights should have received a letter from District 14 Council Representative Angela Hunt. Angela’s Office has arranged for a special enforcement team of four officers to be in the area from 12:30-9:00 p.m. daily until the pack of stray dogs is apprehended. Please call 214-287-7935 immediately if you see the dogs. There may be two packs operating in the area.

Porch Thieves Busy

The plant/porch thieves are again active. A small, glass topped table was stolen off a porch in the 5500 block of Worth. The table was noticed missing on Monday, May 28.

Car theives at it again

/in

I was informed that there were car thieves on my street Wednesday around 11. I pulled this picture from my street cam. It appears to be an older marquis with Tint. The video shows a young Mexican male exiting the car and disappearing, then reappearing and getting in this car. A neighbor witnessed them trying to break into a car. If you see this car in the area call the police.

Roving Dogs Continue to be a Problem

/in

The three dogs that continue to plague the neighborhood were spotted Tuesday morning, May 22, going down the 5500 block of Victor, heading east towards Beacon. They were also seen on Ridgeway Sunday, May 20. This is the description of the dogs from the neighbor on Ridgeway: all three appear to be mature but not real old. One is a German Shepard; another is a Black Lab or mix with strong Lab characteristics. The third is about the same size as the Lab with mostly black and some brown/orange swatches.

Other descriptions have been have included a medium build dog with blond hair and another dog with a pit bull face.

These dogs are vicious and should be considered dangerous, and according to this content it is important to get dog training for them. They appear to be well-fed and wear no collars. Three weeks ago, they chased a neighbor while she was riding on her bicycle, causing her to crash into one of the dogs. The incident occurred at the corner of Fulton and Eastside across from one of the Juliet Fowler buildings. The victim fractured her pelvis in the crash and is still unable to walk properly.

District 14 Representative Angela Hunt is aware of the problem and has intervened. If you see the dogs, please call 214-287-7935 (Animal Control). They will respond immediately.
