--- Begin Message ---Thanks for sharing this with me. Yesterday there was a string of burglaries throughout the later part of the evening into the early part of the morning. CVCBD tomorrow and Friday will be flyering a few blocks as notice to residents of the recent rash of break ins as well as some helpful preventative tips. On another note, please do not take it as an “excuse” in terms of windows and doors being left un-lock. Many break ins listed on the past 3 months of crime alerts the suspect have gained entry to properties through open windows or unlocked doors. We simply like to remind residents to double check every window and door in their household especially before they leave or in the evenings before winding down. Unfortunately we see more and more of this as the weather gets warmer.Northern District and CVCBD do offer the opportunity for residents to engrave their personal items with an engraver for a faster return of stolen items if they have been found. As well as walk throughs to suggest additional security measures in the home. Also our Wednesday NWOP walk (Neighborhood Walkers On Patrol) have been leaving additional flyers for preventative measures and notating broken street lights so we can continue to help increase safety measures here in the district. If you have additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact me directly in the office at 410-235-4411 ext 16.

If an arrest is made, Deputy Major Worley will let us know. Deputy Major Worley stated at a recent meeting that year to date crime in charles village is up about 15% simply due to an increase in burglaries. Robberies and larceny from auto are both down. He stated that the crime stats are lower above 28th Street where JHU Security Patrols. He stated that he has worked on segway patrols in the past in Mt Vernon and finds them a great tool for that area and would be a great tool for Charles Village. The CVCBD proposes to raise the surtax in order to, among other things, provide an off-duty police patrol of targeted areas and is holding a public meeting to discuss the FY 2013 Budget plan on Tuesday, March 27, 6:30 – 8:00 pm at Lovely Lane Church, 22nd and Saint Paul St. There will be a presentation of the budget and program services recommended by the CVCBDMA Board that asks for a surtax rate increase from the current 12 cents per $100 of assessed property value to 12.5 cents per $100. This equates to an approx average tax increase to residential property homeowners of approximately $5/year.

Yesterday afternoon around 3:00, someone broke into 300 E. Lorraine, the rehabbed house that was bought a few months ago by a young woman who lives there with her son. They broke in through the basement (like most of the other ones that occurred on the 2600 block of Guilford) and stole a laptop, children's clothes and attempted to steal the flat screen TV but was unable to carry it (thankfully). She has an alarm but they got away before police arrived. And, no, her windows were not open or any of the other excuses the Northern Police District likes to give. Her house was secure with an alarm in broad daylight.
