Bold Daytime Forced Entry Attempt by Three Masked Intruders Thwarted
A bold daytime break in attempt took place this afternoon around 4:00pm at 14 Locust Street, a SouthLawn unit. Three young, masked men attempted a forced entry through the back door of the building. The tenant came to the door and called the police and building management who arrived there in minutes. The perpetrators ran away past the public garden and towards the Knowles and Abbott street area. The police have no idea who they were, they said. The tenant could give no description beyond the fact that they were masked.
Crack heads and junkies committ petty crime to support their habit. When will the people of Mt. Hope say enough is enough and divest themselves of their investement in the drug business.
When will our City government say enough is enough, let's stop these criminals from running roughshod over our decent taxpaying citizens.

Frightening the lengths these people go to support their drug habit. NONE of the crime that goes on here should be tolerated, but this takes what a lot of us residents witness everyday to a different level.
They stole my bike from my basement last night, which seems petty compared to what these residents went through. I was not home at the time, and my alarm served to deter the thief(s) from investing too much time exploring. They gained access from a basement door: what good do locks do these days, against these types of creeps.
We need to start the Crime Watch ASAP. We need to support and look out for each other so that these crimes can be solved. Is anyone else getting as frustrated as I am?

Do you think it would be useful to address the conditions that create this behavior?
