Today's Crime Alert - Burglaries Last Night & Sex Offender


Recently, there have been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood.  Last night (January 16th, 2013), several of the the garages in the alleyway between Elsinore and Reservoir were robbed.  The locks were cut and many items were stolen. CENW was alerted this morning that several items were stolen from garages.
Stolen items belonging to victims were found in a drug-addict encampment in the alleyway behind the recycling center.  Police officers showed up and questioned people there, (including one man with several tattoos on his face who other neighbors have recently seen with a gun), but Officers did not make arrests, because they did not have concrete evidence.  

EXERCISE CAUTION! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT INTERACT WITH, CONFRONT, HARASS OR ENGAGE WITH DANGEROUS PERSONS! GET TO SAFETY AND ***CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY!***  
Police officers informed CENW that one of the residents of the drug addict encampment is a "registered sex offender." He has been testified against and the police are keeping a sharp eye on him. 
As soon as we determine if the registered sex offender qualifies under Megan's Law to have his picture shown, we will add a photo to this site. In the meantime, verified members of CENW can request an email of photos of alleged/known dangerous persons in the neighborhood.
