Break in on Gwynne

Another report of a break-in as follows:

Home on Gwynne Avenue was broken into, possibly the eve of Canada Day. The front door was kicked in. They were clearly drug addicts or drug pushers. They left empty bottles of aspirin, Tylenol 3's and some expired antibiotics. They stole a bike from the basement, we guess as a getaway vehicle.

We were not at home and our car wasn't in the driveway but the police did say that it is unusual for break-ins to happen at night and through the front door.

Stay alert to odd encounters

This from a resident near Fairmont Park after seeing the break-in reports:

A few days before I read about the first warning of breakins in the area something odd happened at my door.
In the afternoon a young man, slim, slightly red-blond hair, about 18 or so rang the bell and asked politely if he could have a glass of water.
I told him that I felt a bit uncomfortable about this rather strange request but I obliged, locked the front door with him standing on the front porch and returned with the glass of water. He drank 2/3 of it. I asked him why he was thirsty and he said he had been running. I should have said..but you don't seem to be sweating very much..but I did not. Another young man, dark haired, slim and about the same age stood in the driveway texting on his phone during this episode and said nothing.
This could have been an attempt to find out if anyone was home.

Kenilworth break-in also on June 21st

A resident on Kenilworth saw our email alerting residents to the break in today on Orrin and informed us that  there was another one on Kenilworth today. "A tool was used to pry the door and then it was kicked in. Access to the door was via screened porch. No one was home at the time. The alarm went off and the criminals left without taking anything."

Another break-in today. Orrin Avenue

Incident reported this afternoon on Orrin Avenue.  

The intruder entered their back porch.  One of the homeowners happened to be home and chased him off then called the police. The guy said he thought a cat got hit and went to see if it was okay. BUT he was inside their screened in porch. 

Please remember to make sure you lock your doors and windows even when you are at home!

If you see anyone or anything out of the ordinary call the police and report it.  CHNA has requested increased police presence in our area but we need to get the word out to residents so that they can all take the necessary precautions.
