Burglar is in custody!
by Joan Soulliere 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Dear Neighbors, Thank you for your supportive messages in light of our recent burglary. The burglar is in custody at the Juvenile Detention Center. He’s 16 years old and was student at Carrick High School. He worked alone. The Police Auto Theft Squad did a fantastic job. This kid is responsible for around 15 car thefts in Highland Park, Point Breeze, and Squirrel Hill. I was assured that he’s looking at at least 4 years of incarceration. I wanted you all to know about this good outcome. Joan -- Joan Soulliere Sent from my mobile phone.

Zone 5 Police Follow-up to HPCC Meeting
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

First up, I want to thank so many people for coming out to last night's community meeting. It was great to have you and I hope we'll see you at future meetings! For those unable to attend, two officers from Zone 5 provided an update on the neighborhood crime statistics since the last meeting in November and spent nearly an hour answering questions about crime and security in the neighborhood. Despite the buzz on social media, there has not been an increase in crime *reported to the police*: in two months, there were 4 car thefts (three of which the keys had been left in the vehicles and one was loaned to someone who did not return it), 6 burglaries (I think! Of those, one was a bike from a detached garage, one was someone getting the house keys out of an unlocked car to access a house, and one did not actually appear to be a burglary but was called in as such), and no robberies (i.e., "muggings") and no overdoses. While any crime is unwelcome and upsetting, we are still one of the safest neighborhoods. The officers reminded residents that some of the best steps we can take to protect ourselves are to keep our homes, garages, and vehicles locked; to install motion sensitive lights; and to report suspicious behavior and actual crime. To see more patrols in the neighborhood, Zone 5 would need to see an uptick in calls - for suspicious behavior and crime, but also calls from residents who are concerned generally. To that end, one of the officers in attendance called me first thing this morning to let me know that in response to the feedback they heard at last night's meeting, they will be increasing patrols in the neighborhood for the next couple of weeks and referred concerns about drugs and prostitution to Narcotics and Vice. We have a great group of officers in Zone 5. Our police officers work hard and would put their lives on the line for us. Everyone at last night's meeting was very respectful and I hope that people continue to show our officers respect and appreciation for all that they do: they too are part of our community. Finally, if this is a topic that you are interested in being more engaged in, Zone 5 can provide information about Block Watches and HPCC would love to have you on our Public Safety Committee. Warm regards, Stephanie Walsh HPCC President -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
