Hello All, Someone on my list urged me to forward this info to all of you to get the message out wider - hope you don't mind! Still waiting for more details, but again I think the info is still good as it stands.... when I get descriptions of vehicles and 4 individuals will pass it along.... Yours, Patty

Washington: Suspicious activity 46th and Baltimore- be on alert To: "[email protected]" < [email protected]>, Gerry Davis <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Hello All, Sgt. Washington came to the last meeting at Calvary on Thursday. He shared about an incident that had happened a few days before. I still need to catch up to him to get the exact details, but enough is known that I wanted to make sure not to delay telling you. Last week sometime, some of our excellent police officers noticed two cars parked at 46th and Baltimore, at about 8:30 pm. Their engines were running, and there was no one in the driver's seats. They had seen a total of 4 individuals exit the cars, and stopped them. Turns out they all had prior arrest records for robbery. The police officers (and Sgt. Washington) instincts say they were preparing to rob, and make a quick getaway in warmed and ready cars. Because they weren't actually doing anything, they had to be released of course. Thinking about it, that location makes a "good" spot to try this sort of thing - businesses that are closed, and isolated from foot traffic due to the traffic island and width of the street - next time you pass at night take a look and see what I mean. Be extra vigilant there, and also any other corners that have the same elements - wide isolating distances, darkness, closed businesses at night. Be vigilant for yourselves, and also for the same kind of situation, and if you see such a thing, call 911. Its better for the police to check out something that turns out to be nothing, than the other way around (missing something because we hesitated....) Again, remember to NOT use headphones on the street, walk with head up and alert (i.e. do not text or use your phone on the street), and keep alert. Don't hesitate to use 215 898-WALK, the escort service. Yours, Patty
