Crime report

Neighbor Doug Eckert shared the following crime report at last night's SPNA membership meeting, and the news is not so good.

Auto burglary, the theft of property from vehicles, increased over the past month. Incidences of auto burglary are generally the most common crime reported in Sylvan Park. This kind of theft was concentrated in two clusters in the neighborhood: on or near 46th Avenue and on or near 39th Avenue. The theft of an automobile, a much less common offense in Sylvan Park, occured near Dakota Avenue and 53rd Avenue. Three residential burglaries (home break-ins) were also reported during this time period. This is unusual activity for the neighborhood.
