POLICE TIPS

Apparent business transactions conducted from a vehicle, especially

around schools or parks and if juveniles are involved, could mean

possible drug sales.

Persons being forced into vehicles -- especially if they are juveniles or

females -- may mean a possible kidnapping. Record the license plates and

call police.

An abandoned vehicle parked on your block may be stolen. Contact parking

control with a license plate number.

Place gravel outside windows where you’re concerned about prowlers. The

noise of someone stepping on it will serve to alert you.

Seemingly innocent activities may be crimes in progress. Be a good

neighbor, be observant and watch for unusual activity.

A residential window with a small break in it may mean a burglary has

occurred. Call police immediately.

A stranger entering your neighbor’s house when it is unoccupied may be a

burglar.
