NEWS AND NOTES FROM FBAC OFFICERS
The extra patrols throughout the last month resulted in numerous arrests throughout the neighborhood. The Zone and FBAC will continue to be aggressive with enforcement to make an impact on the crime numbers. We did receive help from neighbors last month in the way of information which is extremely helpful. If you have information on suspicious persons, etc… please call us and let us know about it.

Please use caution as you walk the neighborhoods and mind your surroundings as we have had some Pedestrian Robberies in the Virginia Highland and surrounding Neighborhoods. The Zone is aware of the problem and is stepping up efforts to apprehend the suspects.
