As a followup to the burglary that occurred in East on 4/1/2015, we were able to make contact with the affected owner to gather some details on the break-in. The burglar wedged a screwdriver into the front door to gain entry and stole the tenants jewelry. Nothing else was taken. No one saw the thief due to some bushes blocking the view of the front door which the tenant has since removed. It is worth reminding folks that MDPD will provide a free security survey on your home to help you better secure it. You can find more information regarding that program by Clicking Here.
Recently, there has also been other activity just as concerning which has also been on the East side of the community. There was one drug related incident which occurred last month on East. One of our members became suspicious and called Police which were able to apprehend the juveniles responsible. We have also had someone placing stickers with graffiti on about 20 signs on the East side which we have since had someone remove. We have been in contact with MDPD regarding these incidents as well, but MDPD can't help if residents don't begin reporting suspicious activity when they see it. Although a sizable portion of you will receive this message by email, with some others choosing to instead read it right from our blog, there are still many members who do not have internet access who might otherwise not know what is going on. We are asking all members reading this to please speak with your neighbors to get the word out regarding the issues which have been occurring on East. If you are renting out your unit, please pass this information on to your tenants. By getting the word out, we ensure that whoever is responsible will be caught.
