BOLO

Be on the lookout for a good looking young man who broke into laundry/storage room and searched through stored items. When questioned by residents he bolted south thru Sussex and into Northampton area. He was approx 20 yrs, 5'7”, dark hair, small ornamental beard, very white tee, plaid shorts, red bag, fast runner. Surprisingly this was a reverse theft – he left behind a nice bicycle. Allegiance has taken over this case.

Gas Guzzler

A man with a hose and bucket was trying to steal gas from cars in the Sussex area on Sunday evening. Stay aware folks. Residents gave chase and gave the Sheriff the license plate number.

Be careful AFTER making the ATM withdrawal

A friend of mine was recently robbed at gunpoint by two men after making an ATM withdrawal. She was not robbed outside the bank, but only after she had driven some distance to a school where she worked after-hours. Apparently the two robbers saw her make the withdrawal and followed her. If she had gone into a gated community like ours or if she had gone to her home where there were people around, I suppose the two men would have left for better pickings, and she would have been none the wiser.

This is something to watch out for. I’m accustomed to keeping an eye out when using the ATM. Now I'll be on the lookout for anyone following me in a car, and I'll be careful about where I get out of the car.
