Police Chief Tedesco and Mayor Tutunjian both attended a special meeting of the Lansingburgh Neighborhood Watch Wednesday night to discuss the rash of burglaries (38) in the past month in the Lansingburgh area.
The police believe there are several different individuals involved. No one has been injured and no big items have been taken. They look for cash, laptops or jewelry. Others are stealing metal to the degree that they are entering yards through alleyways and taking people's grills.
Currently the chief says there are many more police patroling and they are committed to catching those responsible. They have put out the word through Project Impact and are getting help and cooperation from the sheriff's and state parole board.
It was a well attended meeting and the primary message was CALL THE POLICE if anything appears wrong. Catching thieves in the act is difficult particularly when there is no pattern. The residents will play an important role in this ending.
I was impressed by the number who attended and I hope this is resolved soon. People should not feel unsafe in their own homes.
