Hello Highland Park Community, I am so very proud that the residents of Highland Park were alert and took action. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is doing a media release recognizing their efforts and submitting the names of the residents who took action for a departmental award! Thanks again for your commitment to the Highland Park community and public safety. Cmdr. RaShall M. Brackney, Commander Zone Five Station Penn Circle West and Ansley Pittsburgh, Pa. 15206 (412) 665-3605 -----Original Message----- From: neighborhood-bounces@highlandparkpa.com [mailto:neighborhood-bounces@highlandparkpa.com] On Behalf Of Jim Johnson Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 8:41 AM To: neighborhood@highlandparkpa.com Subject: [Highland Park] Neighbors, Police and Pizza On the 6400 block of Jackson Street last night (Monday), two neighbors noticed an unfamiliar black man (late teens, early 20s) in front of a vacationing neighbors house. After calling police, they asked him what he was doing. He mumbled that he was waiting for someone. At that moment two other men came from behind the house and squared off with the neighbors saying, "What's up?" Then they walked down the street and were stopped by the police. One of the men had a knife, and police were suspicious that they may have thrown any other weapons away. As we were all sharing information in front of the house, a Pizza Perfecta driver showed up and began walking to the front door. Police stopped him and explained the situation. He had been set up. The shaken driver thanked the crowd of neighbors and gave them the pizza. He said that his wife prays for his safety every time he walks out the door to deliver pizza. Police confirmed that the men had made the phone call and took them in. Thanks to watchful neighbors and quick action by police and robbery, or perhaps worse, was averted. PS-Another neighbor later noticed a smashed out window in the back of their car in the same area. ________________________________ PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best web mail-award-winning Windows Live Hotmail.
