BOLO
BOLO for a green Chevy Lumina with license plate BGU-7453 – this car has been seen in Morningside following delivery trucks, sending a young black male up to porches to take packages and replace them with other already looted boxes.

Front Porch Package Thefts
This continues to be a huge problem, with reports reaching me almost every day. Does anyone reading this report work for either UPS or FedEx? I’ve yet to figure out how to contact someone at these organizations to ask what they are doing on their part to stem this crime. Their web sites offer a…

A Conviction of Interest – Do you remember in my last report there was an item about a suspect caught riding a bike out of the closed Cactus Car Wash on PDL Avenue? He was stopped by Zone 5 Officer Jorge Santa, and after questioning, the suspect (Lessie Bennett) took Officer Santa to St. Charles…

But, now the contractor has moved out into the traffic lanes – effectively forcing westbound traffic in the curbside…
