Neighbor Reports #2 and Crime Report - 8/22/2013

Greetings all,

We just wanted to share with you all a very important reminder to stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, and make sure to report ALL suspicious activity to the non-emergency Sheriff's number 916-874-5115 , CHP at 916-861-1300, and report any criminal activity in progress to 911 or the Sheriff's emergency line at 916-874-5111. Our Sheriff's Dept. has strongly encouraged all residents to place these numbers in their cell phones for easy access and use. Activity reported is how we get more presence of officers in our area, and prevent crimes from occurring. 

A few more incidents to report so that everyone can be aware of getting our voices heard and staying alert. Sharing information is one way to help us stay safe-thank you everyone for keeping each other informed.

Report #1: Suspicious People in our Neighborhood Casing Homes 

8/21/13 4:00 pm - 4:15 pm: I just finished talking to my neighbor about an incident that occurred today at 4:00 pm. She told me there was a white male about 6 feet tall, 50-60 yrs old wearing beige cargo shorts and a shade hat, with a peppered mustache, holding binoculars in both hands and scoping neighbor's house. He was across the street at my other neighbor's house and was looking into her back yard and scoping the front. When my neighbor's mother called her (my neighbor) the guy took off so my neighbor went to find him. She found him talking to a Gardner at the end of Marble Way. She asked him what he was doing at the house and he said he was checking gutters. He yelled out want to see my ID. My neighbor had her daughter in the back seat of her car so she left to avoid escalating the situation. She was going to call the non-emergency number but she didn't have the number programmed on her cell. Thank you for sharing. 

Suspect Description - white male about 6 feet tall, 50-60 yrs old wearing beige cargo shorts and a shade hat, with a peppered mustache, holding binoculars in both hands and scoping neighbor's house.

Report #2: Vehicle Stolen

8/20/13 On the 6000 block of Rampart Drive, a neighbor had their car stolen out of their drive way last night.

Report #5: Nuisance Abatement

We had a "homeless" group of adults living in the front yard of one of the houses on Rampart Drive (between Jan and Barrett) that had a big black dog that would go after walkers/runners and their dogs. They also parked a home made wooden "trailer" out on the street. Several neighbors in the area called Nuisance Abatement . After multiple attacks by the dog several concerned neighbors called the Sheriff. They are no longer living in the front yard and it is safe for the people who walk in Barrett Hills to walk on Rampart now. Would you please let the other neighborhood watch groups in our area know that it safe to resume their daily walks now? I think it is good that we are watching out after each other and our neighborhood now. Thanks.
