robbery - wk. of 9/17/06

A robbery occurred around the 6300-6400 block of Broadway St./College Avenue last week. I am inquiring more information; however, last week, I was only informed that it was a robbery (when I called the non-emergency police dispatch tel. no.). I will provide more information once I receive it. Does someone already know more about it?

quasi-burglaries

Rhonda,

My car was ''broken'' into (it wasn't locked) Sunday night and someone rummaged around in the glove box and console box. Nothing was taken (there is nothing worth taking), but I did call the North District IPD to report it. A bunch of CDs were strewn in the grass strip next to the street -- they are not mine. I put them on the small stone garden edge near my driveway thinking that someone walking by might recognize their stuff. There is also a CD case there which a neighbor found in her yard. That same neighbor had some of her yard art taken -- it was deposited in someone else's yard. This kind of stuff seems to happen regularly in our 'hood.

robbery?

Recently, there was a lot of commotion in the middle of the night (I think it was a Sunday night cause it was relatively quiet)- including street blockages and Police had utilized K-9 backup.
A teenager had stolen a vehicle and had led police to the area where he had taken off on foot! The suspect was apprehended shortly thereafter- but it was unsettling to say the least.... deb
