Neighborhood Watch
Each Month Neighborhood Watch Information will
continue to be published in an ongoing effort to keep
our community informed on crime watch matters.
During the last half of DECEMBER to the present date
of January 15, 2012, based on Orange County Sheriff’s
crime statistics and individual reports there WERE 3
reported RESIDENTIAL burglaries ONE on MACON in the
20700 BLOCK, ONE ON BANCROFT in the 2500 BLOCK and ONE
on MELVILLE in the 20100 BLOCK. There were also 2 AUTO
BURGLARIES ONE on ALBION in the 2300 BLOCK and ONE on
MARDI GRAS in the 20300 BLOCK. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAVE
BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF CRIMINAL MISCHIEF
(MAIL BOXES DESTROYED) on the following streets in the
ESTATES Area of Wedgefield, OVERTON, DECKER, PADDOCK,
QUINLAN and MARDI GRAS.
The only way, we are going to catch individuals
causing the mail box damage is for someone to wittiness
the act and immediately call the Sheriff with a vehicle
description. We quite often have a deputy in the
subdivision. Those who have been pulled for running a
stop sign or caught speeding will attest to that.
Changing the subject, now that the weather is warming
up from the past few weeks of cold temperatures we will
see an increased amount of after dark activity. Joggers
and walkers are reminded to dress in light colored
clothing and/or have some type of reflective clothing as
part of their attire. Even though we have sidewalks
people tend to use the streets and dark unlighted
streets make any trip hazardous for pedestrians as well
as drivers. And the number of unlighted bicycles and
golf carts being driven after dark make it a nightly
miracle in Wedgefield, that a resident is not injured
seriously or killed.
Criminals sometimes pose as couriers delivering
packages and it is common for door to door solicitations
for charity when there is no charity involved. KNOW WHO
IS AT YOUR DOOR BEFORE OPENING – BUT BE SURE THEY KNOW
YOU ARE HOME.
Now let us BE SURE TO LOCK UP AND, be good neighbors
and make the effort to be observant and take appropriate
action.
