News and Notes

As most of you know our lead officer, Chris Clark, had to relocate his family to Colorado in order for his son to receive the medical marijuana treatment he needs for a seizure disorder. With the passage of House Bill 1, also known as Haleigh’s Hope Act, the family has been eagerly planning for their return to Georgia. On Wednesday of this week the Medical Marijuana Registry was officially opened, clearing the way for their return. Chris will be traveling next week to bring everyone back home.

************************

In other good news, the past few weeks have been relatively quiet with only one serious burglary to report.

Burglary 766 St. Charles Ave from Officer’s Narrative

On May 17, 2015 while a resident was away for the weekend someone broke into his upper floor apartment by accessing the roof, removing burglar bars, and entering through a window. Most of the resident’s electronics were stolen and devices with tracking capability were somehow disabled. Unfortunately the victim could not provide serial numbers for his property, which makes recovery more difficult. This is a good reminder to make an inventory of your property by making a video or taking photographs of rooms in your home, jewelry and other valuables, and by writing down serial numbers of electronics such as computers, TVs, etc. If such items are stolen and turn up in a pawn shop, or in possession of someone arrested, then they can more easily be returned to you.

Reminder:  All members call 911 first if you see a crime in progress or a suspicious person or activity, and then call the FBAC Phone. The phone number is on the schedule that is emailed to you monthly.

If you see someone or something suspicious please report it 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.
