Neighbor Alert - Suspicious Behavior

Greetings everyone,

Just wanted to share an important post from one of our street coordinators regarding a suspicious encounter with a man in a gray toyota:

Hello Neighbors, I was sent an email by one of our neighborhood watch participants regarding a suspicious vehicle. A gray Toyota was parked outside their home near Rampart and Ranger near the apartments. . A man got out of the vehicle and was just staring at them. He didn't speak, or make a move.  Unfortunately we don't have a description of the man, but beware of a Gray Toyota that may be parked in our neighborhood.  If you see anything suspicious, don't hesitate to contact the sheriff's department. (Emergency 916-874-5111, non-emergency 916-874-5115). 

Something I do want to make sure I point is how important it is for all of us who are recognizing and reporting criminal or suspicious behavior in our neighborhood that it is vital to  have as much detail as possible when reporting to the Sheriff's Dept. Knowing what type of car it is (make, model, year, license plate, distinguishing marks), what the suspect looks like (gender, approximate age, color of skin/hair, approximate height, what they are wearing),  time of day, and location are essential in helping law enforcement do what they can to help respond effectively to reports. A great way to keep track of this type of information for future needs, and to make your report as successful as possible, try keeping a notebook handy to keep notes in and perhaps tape a note to the front reminding yourself of what type of information can help make your efforts most useful.

Thank you everyone for keeping our neighborhood safe!!
