RFCOP Crime report update-Mar 4-10, 2013

Suspicious Activity – claiming to be BGE representatives:

Please advise your neighbors of this and follow the lead of the resident.

 

On 3/11 a resident of Copeleigh Rd, 21212 had a young (20's) African-American male knock on her door claiming to be a BGE representative asking to view her recent BGE bill. When the resident asked to see his identification first the young man could not produce any and was told to leave by the resident which he did.  Another resident on Copeleigh Rd was also approached by two young African-American males making the same request. 

 

Please remind your family and neighbors to always request identification of anyone coming to their door requesting information or aid, if they're legitimate they'll have no problem producing it.  If necessary the Agency (BGE, Comcast, Verizon, etc) can always be contacted too to verify their representatives. Don't give out information to anyone you're not familiar with or recognize.  Call 9-1-1 when suspicious persons of this type are in your community so that our Officers can respond and identify them.

 

Thanks, Sgt Fink, PC06 COT

            If you view the last two weeks of burglaries and other incidents in just the past two weeks a negative trend is developing in Rodgers Forge that we have not had in the past three years.  They are as follows:

3  -  First degree Burglaries

2  -  Second degree Burglaries

2  -  Fourth degree Burglaries

1  -  Second degree Assault

            Summer is not yet here and already we have accrued more Burglaries in the past 2 weeks then we had in almost a year.  The reason for the drastic increase is unknown, but the answer is we need EVERYONE in the Forge to be extra vigilant!  The Citizens on Patrol can only do so much; we desperately need your help to curb this drastic increase in crime. We welcome all suggestions and most of all volunteers.

            We are a community of 1,777 homes.  If one household could donate one hour of patrolling a month, for 24 hour around the clock coverage we would only need 720 homes to cover one full month.  We understand there are not many people who have free time at night, but if you see the times above, a lot is happening during the day and in the early morning and evening hours.  Any help given is appreciated.
