Dear Neighbors: We have had reports of crime activity that I wanted to share with you.
1. There was a car break in on Robie (between Woodward & Parkside) last week. Nothing seemed to have been taken. I
am told that burglars sometimes take the car registration.
2. There was a garage break in on July 31 (through rear window). They apparently were in the process of stealing a chain saw but for some reason did not succeed--perhaps a neighbor came home or scared them off??
3. A home burglary took place on Florence between Main and Crescent recently. Apparently it was a daytime break in and
a flat screen TV + other things were taken.
The message is: BE VIGILANT. IF YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING THAT SEEMS SUSPICIOUS, CALL 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try to get as good a description of individuals/vehicles as possible before calling.
We've also received a number of complaints about uncut yards, debris, rat citings, suspected drug activity. Besides reporting these things to the PCA office, I urge you too call #311 or go on line to the Mayor's Complaint Line where you can report all of these things anonymously, if you wish. (On line: go to the City of Buffalo homepage, then to city departments, then to citizen services.) For suspected drug activity,please call the tip line to make an anonymous complaint - 847-2255. The Rodent Control number is 602-2977. If you see a street light that is out, you can also report it on the Mayor's Complaint line -- please have the street pole # or the house address.
