CrimeWatch 6/16/02 part 1

June 16, 2002
It has been brought to our attention that our neighborhood has had people claiming to be Sales Reps from ADT going door to door asking questions regarding how secure our homes are. There is considerable concern with the fact that these people are not offering any form of identification. There are other issues of major concern which would not be good to post on this site. If you are a crimewatch member, you should be receiving a call or an email explaining the other concerns. If you are not a crimewatch member and would like additional information, please contact Daniel Ahlbrand at 481-8024. ADT has been notified and they are checking to see if they have sales reps in this area. The police and sheriff's department have been notified. They want anyone receiving a visit from these people to try and get a license plate number if possible and contact 911 immediately.

After talking with ADT this morning, it appears the gentlemen were probably from a contract company hired to do door to door sales. However, according to ADT these representatives should have some type of ID. These people were told before about marking the homes. ADT will follow up with the contract company to get them to stop this practice immediately! If one of these representatives come to your home and do not show any type of ID, DO NOT let them in or give them any information regarding the security of your home.

On Wednesday December 4th at approximatly 5am a suspicious vehicle was noticed parked on Inishmore Dr. The suspect had walked between the houses onto Leith Ct. and was attempting to break into a vehicle. The witness immediatly notified the Sheriff's Dept. and a K9 unit was dispatched. The suspect was not found, but evidence was retrieved by the Sheriff's Dept. that has been linked to this incident. We will follow up with the Sheriff's Dept. for any updates on this case. Our community wishes to thank this witness for getting involved, and making our community safer. This is our crimewatch at work! Daniel Ahlbrand Crimewatch Coordinator

Thanks & Back Porch Lights Dec 8, 2002
A big thanks to whomever reported this incident to the authorities! We are lucky to have folks willing to take action like that. I would like to encourage residents to turn on their back porch lights during overnight hours. I believe most of our houses are equipped with automatic lights in front, keeping the streets fairly well-lit, but it can get pretty dark in back between the rows of houses. We and several of our neighbors have begun to turn on our back lights overnight since hearing of the 12/4 incident. It adds just enough light to an otherwise dark area to hopefully make potential intruders feel uncomfortable.

Super Idea Dec 11, 2002
John, a great idea! We noticed also a few weeks ago that the back of the homes are very dark. We started turning ours on too.. just too keep the potential problems down or from happening. It does provide an element of security. Darkness protects the intruders.. anything we all can do will give potential protection to all. Many thanks for the comments.. and keep them coming everyone! Sincerely, Daren Porter, VP CCP Homeowners Assoc
