NNO 2014

 

We had a great National Night Out!!  Many thanks to our WVC Fire Department for making it an exciting event!  Everyone loved it!  We had visits from various departments, elected officials & the chief of police!  Our party wasn't as big as it has been in previous years - I think the rain had a lot to do with that.  But be sure to catch us next year!  It will be hard to top the Fire department's demo.  What would you like to see next year?

Open Garages...

This is an email I received from Officer Lynes:

Hi Renee,

Today (06-02-2014) my partner Officer Scott Arnold and I drove through your neighborhood numerous times. From 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. tonight I focused on making contact at homes where I found the garage doors wide open. I located 31 open garages in 1/4 of the neighborhood. So if that trend stayed true throughout the whole Diamond Summit area, I estimate there could have been as many as 130 open garage doors. I plan on continuing... to go through the area this week and talking to those who have their garage doors open. I thought you said you had a Facebook profile for your area. If you do, could you post something on your areas Facebook profile about making sure to leave garage doors closed if your not in the garage or in sight of the garage. Getting that info out and making sure garages are not left open will help us curb thefts.

Thank you for your time,
Officer Mike Lynes
West Valley City P.D.
Community Response Unit.

KSL Story On Recent Thefts

Did you catch the story that KSL did about the recent thefts in our neighborhood?

Incident on 5-27-2014

Received this info from a resident within Diamond Summit:

Saw the following about 30 minutes ago while returning from a bicycle ride:

little silver'ish gray/blue
nissan pickup
utah license plate # D04 2BU
...

2 Hispanic males
1 older male, long grey'ish black hair, 5'6" to 5'10
1 younger male, dark black short hair, stayed in the truck

Took a metal drip pan from the side of a house on the south end of blossom valley lane. Then came around to pine valley lane and asked one neighbor, and I for any used metal we have.  Don't know if it's related to the recent garage thefts, and don't want to make something out of nothing, but worth keeping an eye out!

Thank you to this resident for keeping an eye out & collecting detailed information!!!

Also, a great reminder that people are rummaging through our yards & to call when you see this sort of activity.  And to not keep valuables outside. 

FYI: Please Watch This Video

This video was captured by a West Jordan resident on their surveillance video.  This same truck & men have been spotted in Diamond Summit.  In our same neighborhood, on the West Jordan side, they were spotted on Liza Ln stealing a generator off of a trailer. 

Please be on the look out for this vehicle.  They are driving around looking for items to steal out of open garages, or items left out in yards, anything actually...

Please check your garage doors & close them!!  The more garage doors left open, the more they will attract people looking for the opportunity to get in them.  If you see your neighbor's garage open before you go to bed - please call them or go over there! 

Let's look out for each other, let's call the police when we see something suspicious!  It's the only way we'll keep our neighborhood safe!

Do you know your kid's "Friends"?

Last night, KSL reporter Debbie Dujanovic, did a great story on Social Media safety!  You can find the story HERE! 

Are your kids on Snapchat, Ask.fm, or instagram?  Do you know what their privacy settings are?  Did you know that some of these social media sites do not have privacy settings?  Meaning anyone can contact them or send them pictures...  Be involved, be aware!  "Look out for each other" - especially those in your own family! 

Attempted Break In

Just saw a friend's status on facebook regarding an attempted break-in at her home.  This is what she wrote:

 Hey friends- my house was almost broken into just a few minutes ago. He was a white male, slender build, wearing a dark knit cap, drove away in a gray Subaru. He knocked and rang the doorbell forever, than moved to the backyard to open the sliding glass door. I screamed at him and told him to get out and he ran away. Keep your eyes open!!!

Let's be on alert...please call the police if you see anything suspicious!
