Trash Dumped on Augusta Street

Trash was illegally dumped on Augusta Street on Thursday, April 24, during the day. A late model two-tone metallic blue pickup was seen driving down Parkmont from Gaston, turning right on Junius and then left on Augusta. The driver then floored the truck and dumped his load of brush on the street on Augusta. This is not an isolated incident but a reoccurring problem. This vehicle has been seen before dumping illegal trash in the neighborhood. If you have any additional information, please call 911.

Smash and Grab in the 5300 Block of Worth

April 3, 2008

There was a “smash and grab” in the 5300 block of Worth Street on Thursday morning, April 3, at 6:30 a.m.. While the residents were sleeping, burglars broke a small pane of glass on a door, reached in, and turned the lock that was in the door. The thieves rushed into the living room where they stole a flat screen TV off the wall above the fireplace. The door had a double cylinder dead bolt but the keys had been left in the door.

It is recommended that a double cylinder lock be installed on doors and the keys not be left in the door. If a burglar does break in, he must exit the way he entered unless he can find a lock to the door. One long-time resident reports that he frequently has seen stacks of merchandise near a door after a burglary because the thieves could not exit quickly.
