Neighborhoods in the vicinity of 39th Ave SE and 212th St SE
have seen several burglaries in recent days:
CANYON CREEK- On Sunday, June 3, a lawn mower was stolen
from a house across from Canyon Creek’s main entrance. Then, on the morning of
Tuesday, June 5, the homeowner from the same house, scared away thieves who
were attempting to steal another unidentified item. The thieves ran away on
foot.
CHESNUT HIGHLAND- During the same time period, a theft
occurred during the morning hours in Chestnut Highland.
CANYON CREEK- A house was broken into during the morning
hours. The thieves waited for a mother to take her children to school to enter
the house. They ran out the front door when she returned home. (This maybe the
same incident as that reported under the first Canyon Creek item above.
CANYON FIRS- A break-in to a house in Canyon Firs.
Some of these incidents occurred in the morning. Sometimes
burglars get an early start to their day and watch for homeowners to leave for
work, or to take their kids to school before breaking in. Whenever you leave
your house you should lock your doors and windows even if it will be a “short
trip.”
Other reminders that Neighborhood Watch Coordinators are
passing to their neighbors include:
- Call 911 if you see any
suspicious person or activity around your home.
- Never leave your
belongings outside and keep your garages CLOSED.
- At night keep your porch
lights ON.
- Use home security system
if you are just running a quick errand
- Randomize your routines (for
dropping kids at school, please coordinate with others in neighborhood and
volunteer to pick or drop every other day or as your situation permits) as
much as possible so it is hard for someone to track you.
- Lock your car door if it is parked outside.
- Keep all items of worth out of site.
