NEWS AND NOTES FROM SGT. CLARK

Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope this year brings good things for all.

Theft from autos was the crime of the month and continues to be an issue for the neighborhood and citywide. I encourage everyone to speak with each other about leaving items of value in their vehicle. As long as the criminals have a place to thrive they will return until they are caught or the merchandise runs out.

FBAC Officers arrested two individuals last month. Both of these individuals were wanted individuals from two separate counties. Both were stopped by FBAC officers for suspicious activity. Pay attention to your surroundings and go with your gut and feelings if you feel that doesn’t seem right and call the police. If there is nothing to it, then no harm done, you may be preventing a crime.

The two commercial burglaries on St. Charles Av. have generated a person of interest that we are currently looking for. This individual is a suspect in the burglaries. We ask again that you ask your friends and neighbors in Virginia-Highland to join FBAC, to help make Virginia-Highland a safer neighborhood. We can do this if we work together as a team.
