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.
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.
A prowler was spotted in the alley, between Parkmont and Dumont Wednesday night, May 23, about 10:00. He is an Anglo man in his late 50s-early 60s, about 5’8’, slender, with stubble on his face. The police were called and responded within five minutes. As this is being written, they are looking for him.
The plant thieves continue to be active. A hanging basket was stolen from a house in the 700 block of Beacon. In an attempt to stem the theft of numerous plants from the porch, the owner attached the plant to the ceiling. The thieves damaged the ceiling while stealing the plant.
A truck parked in front of house in the 700 block of Parkmont was vandalized the night of May 18, Friday, between the hours of 9 pm and 2 am. The driver’s window was smashed and a CD player and Bible (!) were stolen.
