Media
Republicans have been in contact with Nether Providence regarding
recent burglaries in the Bowling Green, Upper Providence area. Due to
close proximity to Media, we wanted our community to know the latest.
EMAIL SENT TO RESIDENTS IN NETHER PROVIDENCE
Dear Neighbors,
Attached is this weeks commissioners meeting agenda. I have also
attached below a communication from our Chief of Police in regards to
the recent break-ins. I also wanted to update you on the break-in
status and what we are doing as a TWP to stop this issue. We have had 2
attempted break-ins and 2 successful break-ins in the 4th Ward in the
past month.
The 2 attempts, one was thwarted by the residents
dog scaring away the assailants, the other is below in the Chief's
report. The 2 successful break-ins were between 10am- 3pm both houses
the main entrance door was knocked in and the assailants went to the
master bedroom and stole jewelry, and other personal items. The police
believe the assailants are in and out the houses in less than 5 minutes.
I met with the District attorney Jack Whelan and the county criminal investigation division last week along with our State Representative Joe Hackett. The Police will be working with
the county's help to set up a plan to catch these thieves. Please be
aware that there will be many officers on the streets and you might be
stopped and questioned by the task force, so don't be alarmed we
will be blanketing this area and other selected areas in the TWP. If
you have any questions please contact me.*
Regards,
Nate Much
4th Ward Commissioner
On Saturday at 2:30 PM, a resident in the 200 Block of BEATTY RD heard a
noise down stairs and called 911 immediately. When police arrived they
saw a White Male with dark hair run from the wooded area in the back
yard. A search of the area with several police depts. and K-9 units did
not locate anyone.
The house was entered by an unlocked rear
door and no items are missing. Residents are asked to call 911
immediately if you see or hear any suspicious activity in your
neighborhood.

Thanks Ted for the update. I agree that media needs to get better at alerting residents of break ins. I live on fourth street right near where several break ins have occurred this year, and I had no idea about them until months after the fact when I happened t be talking to a neighbor.
ReplyDeletePublic awareness of the problem is the criminal's worst enemy. Thanks for getting the information out there, Tedman.
