CRIME ALERT !

Safety Alert!!

We have been advised by the Parkside Community Association that there have been a number of break-ins in the area and neighbors have been approached by strangers asking for money. We ask everyone to be extra cautious in knowing their surroundings. Two weeks ago two young men approached a neighbor in front of St. Mark's rectory and demanded money. He had no money on him and the young men became physical with him. Please keep a watchful eye for any unusual activity in the area and report it to the police.

Thought this additional info was worth passing along to the block group in light of the hold-up by gun point last week.
