Replacing and Removing FBAC Signs
This month John Wolfinger and Nancy Safay are continuing to
tour the neighborhood to replace old style VH Patrol signs with the newer FBAC
red and black signs. Please do not be alarmed if you see someone in your yard
changing signs. John and Nancy are also installing signs in each member’s yard
where there is not one, and making sure that signs are visible from the street.
Other Significant Incidents
Robbery Near 852 Arlington Place from Officers Narrative:
On January 17, 2016, I Officer C. Cooper was dispatched to
Arlington Pl. NE in response to a pedestrian robbery. Upon arrival, he spoke to
four victims. All of the victims stated that they had just left the Dark Horse
Bar on N. Highland Ave walking down Arlington Pl. when they were approached and
robbed at gunpoint by three black males wearing dark clothing. Victims stated
that the black males placed guns to their heads and ordered them all to the
ground saying "Give me what you have!"
Victims gave the suspects wallets with credit cards, ID, and
cell phones. One victim also gave up home and car keys. All victims stated that
when the males had all of their belongings in their possession, they told the
victims "Turn around and walk back to where yawl came from." The
victims stated that from that point they all ran back down Arlington Pl. onto
Briarcliff Pl. and back onto N. Highland Ave. for help.
The suspects walked in the opposite direction. The victims
stated that two or three of the suspects were armed with black handguns and
were between the heights of 5'2- 6'3 and between the ages of 20-30 yrs. old.
The victims also stated the suspects "were not dressed for the weather”,
because they weren't wearing any jackets or coats. The victims can recall that
one of suspects was wearing a beanie hat and all of them appeared to be clean
shaven. The cell phones were unable to be tracked because they appeared to be
off. However, credit cards were attempted to be used shortly after the incident
occurred. Charges were declined on a card used at Bankhead Petroleum. Another
victim was able to determine through online banking that suspects attempted to
use her card, but the location was not known.
Robbery from Individual from Officers Narrative:
On January 19, 2016 I, Ofc. J. Palazzolo,
responded to an address on Ponce De Leon Ave NE to an information call. Upon
arrival the victim advised that he had $700.00 taken from him on January 13,
2016. He stated that he met a female, at Dreams Gentlemen's club a couple
months ago and they became "friendly" and had been seeing each other.
He stated he has been giving the female money for a couple months now to help
her pay her bills. He stated that on Wednesday January 13 they were driving
around looking at furniture for her apartment. He stated that she then asked
him for $400.00 to which he said he did not want to give it to her this time.
She then proceeded to call a couple of males who Victim stated sounded like
"thugs" and they threated to harm him if he did not give her the
money. He then drove to the Bank of America located at 956 Ponce De Leon Ave Ne
and withdrew the $400. When he gave it to her she then stated that her friends
needed "tip" money so he went and withdrew another $300. He gave her
the money and she got out of the vehicle and took the keys to his house, (he
lives in North Carolina), and she said she was going to go to his house this
week and get more money from him. He also stated that she said if he didn't
give her any more money that she would bring her friends to North Carolina and
hurt him. Suspect drives an older model BMW sedan and lives in an apartment on Piedmont
Ave Ne. He stated he does not know the address but it is close to I-85 and

to the police. When driving or out walking, keep an eye out in the
neighborhood, what you see and report just might prevent a crime.
