Good news and bad news in the burglary department. The good news is pretty good, though. Police found a black van believed to have been used in one or more area burglaries and small electronics and other items were being returned to some victims.
Also, several neighbors have reported to me that they have seen bicycle cops in View Ridge. One asked the officers if they were in the area because of the spike in burglaries and an officer confirmed by saying yes. And another neighbor said they’ve seen police cruisers once or twice per day cruising their neighborhood street.
On the downside, we have had a few new burglaries reported in the past couple of week.
