An awareness/action campaign has begun and we are working with State and County officials to resolve this problem. We will be meeting with Captains Gardner and Jones to come up with a community action plan. In the interim, please follow the tips provided in the recent community awareness flyer passed out over the past couple of weeks. Take plenty of photos if you can. Here are some recent photos taken at the motel.Tea Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06463893204186969938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910908199440856368.post-7472058782175130382008-09-30T23:48:00.000-07:002008-10-01T00:14:56.315-07:00DAILY CRIME BULLETIN HOWARD COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT MONDAY, 09/25/08Neighbor heard dogs barking and then his front door being "checked" he ran to the window and saw a black male in a bright red shirt running from door to door down Wye ave. checking front doors. He called 911 and the police were there in 2 min. 3-4 police cars drove around the Wye ave. / Cedar ave. block. In about 4-5 min. they saw the suspect come from between two houses about halfway down Wye ave. he was carrying a "bag" but threw it. Police <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">per sued</span> on foot cutting into back yards and over fences finally arresting him a the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">corner</span> of Cedar and Georgia ave. (the little connecting end of Wye). The suspect told the police that he had relatives in the hood, and gave them an address they knew all too well. It is one of the houses at the dead end of Cedar ave. by the park. They have arrested some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">number</span> of persons from that address on drug charges. The suspect was identified and the "bag" that was thrown was found to be a purse from a house on Wye ave. The suspect entered the unlocked front door, took the purse, a cell phone, wallet, car keys. Then went up stairs, stepping over a young boy that was sleeping on the floor, and took another phone and an i-pod. When the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">police</span> arrested him he was in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">possession</span> of one of the stolen phones. Police noted that he was "high" when taken into custody, and that he already had a warrant out for his arrest. Wonder why he was going to that house???????<br /><br />Here is the police blotter:<br /><pre>Beat E1 7300 WYE AVE, 9/25 0030. Units responded to location for a B&E in progress.
