As some of you know, the BRNA Board discussed Neighborhood Watch Monday night at our Board meeting and took steps to begin developing a system.
It appears that’s good timing. I wanted to alert you to the following.
I’ve spent the past couple hours dealing with the police and lookiing at burglary suspects. A teen tried to break into my neighbor’s house about 1:00 p.m. today … and I’m looking right out the window at him. I went after him, but he and another kid (the spotter) got away. The police are looking for them.
Teens (15-17). Black. Dark complexion. About 5′10″ 150 lbs. Short, buzz-type haircuts. One wearing black jeans and black short-sleeve top, the other black jeans and white short-sleeve top. One riding a bike.
They (the burglars) found five houses in a row with no cars in driveways. Figured no one was home. Walked down long driveway into back yard. Tried to pull screen off open window in kitchen. Failed. Pulled screen off another open window but couldn’t get the window up. Tried on my side of neighbor’s house and didn’t realize I was home.
Not only did they try this house, but apparently tried another earlier in the morning but were frightened off.

In the meantime, keep your doors and windows locked.
