by Monica Watt 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Good afternoon Zone 5 Neighbors, Over the past week, we have seen an increase in robberies and aggravated assaults in the following Zone 5 neighborhoods: * In Homewood, we have seen an increase in robberies in the areas bounded by N. Homewood Avenue, Frankstown Avenue, Brushton Avenue, and Hamilton Avenue. Some of these robberies have been at or around the PNC Bank ATM on N. Homewood Avenue. * In Highland Park, we had what appears to be an armed robbery of a resident who was walking his dogs on Bryant Street. The victim was shot by one of the suspects, but is expected to be okay. The suspects in this robbery are 3-4 young black males, one with a black backpack. * In Friendship, we had (2) armed robberies within a ten-minute span in the 200 block of South Winebiddle. No injuries were reported. Zone 5 is currently putting together a plan with our Intelligence team and detectives from Major Crimes. This plan will involve additional uniformed officers as well as officers working in plainclothes capacity, so you may or may not notice an increase police presence in your neighborhood. Please know that we are working diligently on a plan to address these issues and we will keep you posted if/when we are able to make any arrests. In the meantime, please exercise common safety precautions when you are out after dark. * Stay in well-lit areas. * Be aware of your surroundings. (Avoid texting or listening to your headphones while you are out walking around.) * Whenever possible, travel in pairs. * Do not walk around with large amounts of cash, credit cards, jewelry. * Avoid using an ATM machine while you are alone after dark. * If someone does approach you and demands money, jewelry, etc, DO NOT ARGUE. DO NOT FIGHT. Just do your best to get the most accurate description of the suspects as possible so you can relay this information to responding officers. Take care and be safe, Jason Jason Lando, Commander Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Zone 5 Station 1401 Washington Blvd Pittsburgh, PA 15206 "Leaders don't create followers... they create more leaders." - T.
