Please see the Commander’s comments in the email below. He says that it was a fairly quiet week, but our section is unusually long. I added the map again so you can see where things are happening. No actual addresses are shown. These are “block” and intersection locations only. Also, on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd, many people heard what sounded like 7 gunshots at 7:35pm. Commander Lando confirmed that the officers who responded to the Shot Spotter alert said it was actually fireworks being set-off on top of the hill, not gunfire.

Attached you will find this week's Community Crime Update. It was a fairly quiet week, however, we did have two armed robberies with identical M.O.'s in the East Liberty area. On 9/23 (at N. St. Clair & Mathews) and on 9/24 (at Stanton & Heths), a male victim, walking alone, was surrounded by a group of young black males (16-20) and robbed of his belongings. One of the suspects held the victim at gunpoint while the others went through the victim's pockets and stole his belongings. Officers have increased patrols in the affected areas and detectives are investigating. In other news... The times for McDonald's "Coffee with the Cops" has adjusted for the fall. The new times are as follows: 1st & 3rd Thursday of every month from 3pm-5pm at the Penn Avenue location (by Trader Joes) 2nd & 4th Thursday of every month from 3pm-5pm at the Penn Circle location (by old Zone 5) We encourage any Zone 5 residents to attend and bring your kids! Thats all for now... Have a safe week, Jason Cmdr.
