We’re flipping through our notepad from Tuesday night to unload all our notes from Manito/Cannon’s neighborhood and block watch meeting. It was their monthly gathering as usual, but it was shortened to get right to business with forming block captains to help keep residents safe.
As usual, neighborhood resource officer Tim Ottmar was present to keep neighbors up to date with the local happenings. He referred to Crime Analysis before he arrived to get the latest stats.
There have been no reported residential burglaries in the past week. There were two theft calls and seven reports of vehicle prowlings.
The latest trend in vehicle prowlings that Officer Ottmar has picked up on, thieves are targeting those removable GPS with suction cups. That’s not the only targeted item. There’s the usual suspects of laptops and purses.
Rule of thumb, don’t leave valuables in plain sight in your car.
