RFCOP Crime Update Week of December 5th - 11th

Message from Sgt. Fink Precinct 6, BCPD:

This week's report. A few street robberies and burglaries this week with a couple arrests (the two on Southerly was the same suspect). Remind everyone that when they're outside take only what is necessary and always be aware of their surroundings, try and stay in well lit areas at night-know that's not always easy to do. Most of the burglaries were "forcible entry" so let's stay vigilant in keeping alert to what's going on in our neighborhoods and call 9-1-1 when seeing/hearing anything suspicious. Thanks, Sgt Fink, PC06 COT

Copper Theft Alert:

In Baltimore County, several precincts, including the Towson Precinct, have seen an increase

of copper downspout thefts these past few weeks. Unfortunately, a Rodgers Forge home owner

was victimized on Saturday 12/10/11. According to the home owner, the incident occurred

while the home was occupied sometime during the middle of the day. Though not specific

to this case, a black pickup truck has been seen in areas where thefts have occurred.

A suspicious male was seen in these locations handing out fliers. He is described as a

white male, about 5'6" who is slightly hunched over. The male also has a scruffy look to himself.

We ask you to please be aware of this latest crime trend. If you notice a black pickup truck

or someone handing out fliers, please call 911. A C.O.P. called 911 today(12/13) because an individual

was leaving fliers at homes in the 300 block of Dunkirk Road. He called for a check on subject call.

He was not able to stay at the scene. There is nothing to lose calling 911 concerning someone you

are not familiar with. Better safe than sorry.

Friendly Reminder: Be Sure to Keep Gutters and Storm Drains Clean

Make sure that you have all gutters (on your roof AND in the streets) free of debris and leaves as winter approaches. Backed up storm drains on the streets can lead to flooded basements (its happened to me) and rain gutters that aren't cleaned out can cause water seepage in your basement. A little maintenance now to prevent a big headache later!

Also, keep in mind that the sides of curbs and streets are NOT okay places to dispose of your yard waste. This clogs gutters and when the freeze comes can cause hazardous slippery areas. Please be considerate and rake and bag your lawn refuse.

Thanks!

Idlewylde UM Nursery School Craft Sale 12/16-17

My daughter attends Idlewylde UM Nursery School.

I am a local potter (Claymonster Pottery) and I am hosting a craft sale at the IUM nursery building on Regester Ave on December 16-17.

I have also included jpgs of our mailer.

Forge Door Decorating Contest To Take Place Week Prior to Christmas

Holiday Door Decorating Contest Takes Place The Week Before Christmas Day

Every home in Rodgers Forge is eligible to participate and win a prize. Judging takes place on or about December 15th and judges look for front door areas that display the creativity of the homeowner rather than a store-bought fixed display.
