Recently there have been reports of suspicious behavior around the community. Specifically, some residents have reported that expected packages are not being delivered to their units. Last Friday, a young man was caught with a package that did not belong to him. He was confronted and the police were called. The package was finger printed, but the resident disappeared before the police arrived. A report has been filed. If you see any suspicious behavior, don’t hesitate to call the Mt. Pleasant Police Department (884-4176). They are actively patrolling the community, but need your help to catch the suspected culprit.
Below are some crime prevention tips from the Mt. Pleasant Police Department:
| Protect yourself, protect your neighborhood! |
| NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME PREVENTION TIPS
• Lock your vehicle. A large percentage of automobile break-ins involve unsecured vehicles.
• Never leave valuables inside of the vehicle, where they can be seen in plain view.
• Trim back any shrubbery that hides the doors or windows of your house.
• Illuminate your yards and entranceways. Consider using motion-detection lighting.
• Never open your door to anyone that you do not know.
• Keep your doors locked whether you are at home or away.
• Keep your garage door closed and locked, even when at home or in the backyard.
• Half of all home burglaries occur during the day. Be alert to any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area. If anything seems out of place, notify the police to check it out.
• Be observant of repair men, construction workers or service workers, who might be thieves. If their behavior or location seems out of the ordinary, notify the police.
• Consider investing in an alarm system. Receive at least three different estimates.
• Get to know your immediate neighbors. Be familiar with what type of vehicles they drive, whether they have out of town guests, or if they will be having hired services performed at their homes. This can be one of the best ways to deter crime. |
