Notes: In the fall of 2009, an individual was arrested and charged with several break-ins that occurred in Rodgers Forge in 2009. Most of the break-ins for 2010 occurred at properties that were not properly secured. To our knowledge, two individuals were charged with the break-ins that occurred on 8/19 & 11/18 in 2010.

Let's continue the downward trend of 1st degree burglaries in 2011.

We need your help. Remember: LIGHTS ON LOCK UP LOOK OUT

Correction to the Fire Hydrant list on last week’s email:

There's no 301 Stevenson Lane, it should be 311 Stevenson Lane for the location of the fire hydrant.
