CRIME NEWS: 3 Break-Ins in Our General Area

Chris forwarded the following to the neighborhood email list. No other specifics were provided, but please be aware of the methods used.

Today between the hours of 11:00am-2:00pm three black males driving a silver Nissan Morano with a SC tag broke into three homes. The homes were in the Montibello, Mountain Brook, and Stonecroft communities. These are all neighborhoods that are very close to ours.

The suspects rang the doorbell several times and when no one answered they went around back and pulled the power box off the house and broke in. The houses were ransacked and large screen TV's and jewelry were taken.

At one of the houses a lady saw the suspects standing at the door and they rang the doorbell 9 times and she ran and hid in the shower. She stayed inside there until they left.

My advice to everyone is make your presence known, not by answering the door, but yell through the door or go to the window with the phone at your ear acting as if you are talking to someone.

Be vigilant and take notice of what you see, call 911 with the best description you can and most importantly get a tag number and write it down do not try and remember it. Please pass this on to your neighbors. There was also a Turquoise Acura MDX that was taken during the break-ins they may be switching cars to continue their crime spree.
