FYI - Neighborhood Alert

****Update - July 19, 2013...the suspect was caught & sentenced to 5 years in Prison.****

With the permission of the family involved, I wanted to let you all know that a home on Mill Valley Lane was broken into yesterday morning {September 12}. It was about 10:30 am when this occured. Thankfully, the next door neighbor happened to be leaving their residence & saw a suspicious car that alerted them. Then they saw the person coming & going from the home...which led them to call the police.
The suspects broke a basement window to enter the home... WVC police & forensics came to collect information that will hopefully lead to the arrests of these people.

I am unsettled by how brazen this crime was & how it was early in the day...just reminds us to always keep an eye out for our homes & our neighbors, too! The neighbor did all the right things:

  1. Noticed an unfamiliar vehicle in front of the home
  2. Kept a watchful eye & tried to get a license plate
  3. Called the police! As neighbor's we can look out for each other!

The suspects drove a black grand am, with front end damage & were described as being in their early 20's.

Surveillance cameras that blends in like a light bulb camera or something also help in aiding in gathering info missed. Buying car mounted cameras while they go on patrol is a great idea. I know Im biased but still it can help when you cant get everything
