*NEW* Burglary Information

Forwarded Email Starts Here:



Hi Neighborhood Watch Groups,

I have another BOLO (Be On Lookout) for you. We have had two burglaries in the past week where someone entered two residences through unlocked doors (one a garage door) and stole items. In one case, it looks like entry may have even been made during the night while the residents were asleep. This is especially scary. Criminals that will do that are particularly desperate. West Bountiful also had similar burglaries. Two suspicious vehicles were seen in the area prior to the burglaries, and they may or may not be related to the burglaries. The vehicle were described as a maroon Ford Taurus with Nevada plates, Hispanic male driver and female passenger, and the other was a large red dump truck with an Asian male driving. The vehicle had no logos. Both asked a resident about selling her vehicle (the car was not for sale).


The word is - - - if you notice either of these vehicles in the area, please contact police immediately. Even more importantly, make sure all doors and window are locked, including the garage door and any man doors that go into the garage.



Stay safe and stay alert!!!!

Lyndhurst Break-In

Hello neighbors,

I just wanted to inform all of you that there was a break in that occurred on Lyndhurst today, probably around 11:30 am. The police said this was the second daytime break in in the last week and a half in North Salt Lake. If any of you saw or heard anything suspicious around that time, do not hesitate to call the police. Please be vigilant in keeping watch and an eye on your neighbors houses, as well as remember to keep you outside lights on at night. Thank you!

Windows shot at with BB gun

Read the following email from a fellow neighborhood watch citizen:

"A quick FYI about your neighborhood area that one of my neighbors ask me to pass along to you. Her brother lives on Somersby, while he and his family were out of own this past week someone shot at some of the windows in their home with a BB gun. They then went in the backyard and shot at their backyard (to the south of them) neighbors home or fence (I don't remember all the specific details). This was done during the daytime, yesterday. Just a reminder that we need to keep our eye open during daylight hours too."

Car Burglaries

There have been a handful of car thefts within the past couple of days! Please be aware and keep your cars in your garages and/or locked with valuables removed/out of sight in your driveways; streets are never a good place to park overnight, but if you can't avoid it try to park under a street lamp.

Gina,

A police officer knocked on our door this morning. Someone broke into Zach's truck last night and stole his stereo and other little things. The officer said that there had been four others so far this morning that he'd responded to.

I thought I'd let you know :)

Crappy thieves.

Peeping Tom Alert!

Please read the following comment that was left by an Area 6 neighbor:
_______________________________

I live in Foxboro North so I guess that would be area 6 and I wanted to let all of you foxboro people know some disturbing things that happened last night in our area. We live on Hillingdon Court which is the first circle after the foxboro south neighborhood. I was going to bed and looked out my window and saw a man looking into our across the street neighbors window. I watched him for a little while because I thought it was the owner of the house checking his sprinklers or something. I quickly realized he was not the owner. He was peeking into our neighbors bathroom window. My husband went down and opened our garage to scare him off and it did. He ran before I could see where he went. We called our neighbors to let them know and they came out and checked around their house but no sign of him. A few minutes later we saw a red 4 door car drive out of our circle. We did not recognize the car, but did not get a good look at who was driving or the license plate or the make of the car. If anyone sees a man in his 20's, driving a red 4 door car with some sort of rack on the top, this could be our peeping Tom. It happened at 10pm and he was wearing a white T-shirt and dark shorts. We called the police and they have opened a case on it. If you have any info or saw anything around this time in the foxboro north area call the police. Thanks!

Area 3 Break-in!

E-mail sent from Area 3 Coordinator:

Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that one of our neighbors' home was burglarized on Saturday night / Sunday morning. It happened some time after midnight at the Freestones' home in Haworth Circle, while they were camping. They had a number of items stolen, including her wedding ring. If anyone patrolling that night saw anything suspicious, please contact the NSL police - please also send me an email. One thing that you should also be aware of, they broke in by taking a crow-bar and prying the sliding glass door (in the back) off the track. During this busy vacation season, we all need to be extra vigilant to look out for each others' homes and not only looking for suspicious activity while patrolling, but all the time.

Attempted Break-in {Area 5}

An e-mail from an Area 5 neighbor:

"Our next door neighbor, 324 Birmingham, heard some noise coming from his kitchen early (6 AM-ish) this past Saturday morning. He went down, with a baseball bat, to investigate and saw a person with a ski-mask who had just opened his LOCKED sliding glass door from the outside. The person saw Russ and his baseball bat and took off. Russ called the police who came and searched pretty much every backyard in the North town-homes but didn't find anything. Russ and his family are fine, and the guy didn't break anything or get in the house to take anything. The police did say that 90% of the gates (ours included) were not padlocked, and they recommended that we all get padlocks. My first thought was if someone wants to get into a house, I don't think a fence or padlock is going to stop them. But, my husband pointed out that if they are trying to take something, say a computer or TV or anything really, they are going to have a harder time getting it over a fence than if they just took it through an unlocked gate.
You may want to remind people in our community via the blog to padlock their fence if they haven't already done so. We also put a big wooden stick in our sliding glass door to add one more obstacle."

Gang Fight at Park

Below is an email I received from a fellow Neighborhood Watcher, who received their information from a relative in nearby Foxboro area (FB2). Please read and be aware. Pass on to others. Sharing things that we witness and see is exactly what Neighborhood Watch is about. It's so important to be informed and aware. Keep it up guys!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is from my brother in law that lives on York. I thought it would be some good information for our next meeting. I copied below what he said.

"...did you hear that there was a "gang fight" in the park behind our house last Friday? I guess it was during the day and the guy that lives behind us that is a SLC police officer heard some commotion (as did the FBI agent on the other side of the street) and they went over to see what was going on. There were about 20 kids beating up 2 kids. They all took off but the one kid that got beat up tried to hide in his neighbor's yard.

From what they found out, there is a house on the next street over with 3 families living there. Since it is right by the park, the park has become a hang out for some gang activity

I just thought you might want to know since you are involved in the Neighborhood watch."

Please feel free to email me or your Block Captain with things you feel should be shared with your neighbors as well.

Attempted Break-In!

I was just told about an attempted break-in in Area One, on Alford Court.
--------------------------------------------------
This Alford Court couple was home with their porch lights on, and the like, when they heard a loud, abrasive, pounding on their front door. Their dog started to bark and must have scared the perpetrator. The couple went to their front window to look out but no one was there. Later, a nearby neighbor told them they also heard the loud pounding and then saw a man running down the couple's front steps and away from their home. The neighbors didn't think too much about it as it was only 9:30pm in the evening! So they didn't take action, thinking it was probably someone the couple knew or possibly the couple themselves. However, the couple did call the NSL Police to find out that four other calls had just been placed, within 15 minutes, of that same thing happening in Foxboro.

About 2 months ago this same thing happened, but the perpetrators were successful in kicking down the door! {click here to read more}

Please be alert and aware of these crimes, and let your neighbors and friends of Foxboro know as well. Let's get the Neighborhood Watch program "up and tough" and let these villains know we won't stand for it.

I think it's safe to assume these perpetrators were desperate and probably armed.

Foxboro Town Meeting to be determined...I'll keep everyone posted.

Criminal Activity in Area 4!

This was e-mailed out to a handful of people and made it's way to me. This person lives in Area 4. Here's the e-mail as I received it:

Just as a reminder, keep all of your garages and doors locked and keep your outside lights on. Last night I came home from work late. Jess is out of town this week and so I am always a little nervous. I had a little brother and sister who were sleeping over at my house. When I pulled up to my driveway I had an eerie feeling that something wasn't right. Something told me to check my outside entry for the garage and my front door. The front door was closed and the face plate on the outside garage entry was down so I thought I was just being paranoid. Everything was fine. 45 minutes later my little brother shouts "Hey Matt is here" (a brother of mine). I knew he wasn't here because he wasn't coming to sleep over. He said he could hear him talking outside. We have my in-laws fourwheeler trailer in our driveway. And we heard the trailer move. I told my brother to look out the window to see if Matt's car was here. Nope BUT there were 4 men in my driveway and another in a dark colored 4 door sedan. They were trying to crack the code to my garage opener. There were also two tan/gold colored camerys that were hanging out by the house next door that is being built. All cars had dark tinted windows. And their license plate lights are out so we couldn't see the numbers. The scary thing is I was home, all the lights were on in the front and in the back yard and in the house. One man was in my backyard. The police told me that everyone knows when my husband is gone because his truck isn't sitting in the driveway. The police knew which house we were just by his work truck. The police said that I need to keep my garage door to the house locked when I am home (which I never do because the garage is down) but had they gotten in the garage they would have walked right into my house. They also said that the economy is getting worse and thieves are hitting "nice", quiet neighborhoods. The police officer said never hesitate to call even on something that looks suspicious, don't wait for it to become a crime or for someone to get hurt. He also asked me if I had let my neighbors know that Jess was going to be out of town and I said no cause he's gone a lot and he said always let your trusted neighbors know when your husband's gone or when you'll be out of town. I hope these tips will help, even if they are just a reminder.

Recent Break-In!

I'm posting this e-mail transcript that was shared with the Area Coordinators; its about a recent house break-in that occurred in Area One (Boston Dr.) on Monday. This is why the Neighborhood Watch program is so important. If you haven't signed up to help but you'd like to, please contact your Block Captain or Area Coordinator. The more help we can get, the safer Foxboro will be. Those of you who are already involved, please e-mail this post/website to friends or neighbors in Foxboro who you think would like to get involved as well.

"Just a heads up, someone kicked in our front door at 4:30 this morning. Talking to the police and the builder, there's been a break in about once a week in the Foxboro area. You guys mentioned a neighborhood watch program yesterday, so if you could pass this on to let others know. I don't want to make anyone paranoid but just so anyone can take any extra precautions. Thanks."

Recent Criminal Activity in Foxboro

As a reminder to us all, we recently had a number of incidents of tagging in Foxboro. The tags appear to be that of the Serano 13 again (similar to that over the summer) Thank you to those residents who reported the incidents and for also ensuring it was cleaned up within a few hours. If you see graffiti, please notify the local police as well as the property owner.

Additionally, some residents whose backyards border the new school (currently under construction), indicated that Saturday night, there was some commotion going on inside the construction area. They called the police and the dispatcher indicated that police were already on the scene. While it is unclear at this time what happened, we need to be aware that something happened.

These are both examples that vigilance is needed from all residents of Foxboro to keep our area safe and clean.
