Vandalism to Vehicles on the Rise: Police are looking for two heavy set males driving a blue Toyota

Please report suspicious activity by calling 574-LMPD

Block Watch & Street Captains please share this information with neighbors

There is a rash of criminal mischief incidents in the neighborhoods off 3rd Street Road around Cristland Avenue in the Auburndale Neighborhood.  There are also reports of vandalism in the Scottsdale Neighborhood.  There have been 14 reports of vandalism to autos in less than a week.

The subjects use baseball bats to knock out windows and taillights to vehicles.  The only descriptions the police have are two heavy set men driving a blue Toyota.  The vehicles that were vandalized were parked on the following streets:

  • West Manslick Road
  • Burnwick Court
  • Afterglow Court
  • Caple Avenue
  • Elmer Lane
  • Angeletta Way
  • Scottsdale Blvd
  • Runell Road (3 reports)
  • Pirouette Avenue
  • Franelm Road
  • Westhall Avenue (2 reports)

Because the cars that were vandalized were parked on the street, the police encourage motorists to park in driveways or garages.

Suspicious Door to Door Salesmen On Fruitwood Drive & Leemont Drive

ATTN: Block Watch & Street Captains

Last Friday, two young salesmen approached a resident who lives on Fruitwood Drive.  The fast-talking salesmen began asking strange questions such as:

  • “Do you have a security system?”
  • “Do you have guns in the house?”
  • “If someone broke into your home, which window would be the easiest to gain entry?”
  • “We’ve been watching you and have noticed that you don’t lock your door when you go back into the house.  Do you always lock your door?”

Door-to-Door sales are always popular during the summer months. While some salesmen are reliable, hard workers, there are many scams out there aimed at taking your money. Magazine sales, alarm systems, meat sales, and offers of physical labor on your home are among the most reported fraud claims made. Be sure to ask for the company’s brochure or information, take your time making a decision, and never pay with cash. Also, check out the company with the BBB.

Louisville Metro Police encourages people to call 574-LMPD if they think they are being targeted for a scam.  For emergencies, dial 911.  You should never divulge personal information about yourself or your property.  “They aren’t looking to sell you an alarm, they are taking inventory of your possessions and trying to determine what is the best way to break into your home,” warns Councilman Doug Hawkins.

Police encourage residents to report suspicious activity by calling 574-LMPD
 
Block Watch & Street Captains please share this information with neighbors

 
There have been several reports of vandalism to autos on Runell Road and in the Scottsdale neighborhood.  The police have received three criminal mischief reports from residents living on Runell Road and from three residents living in the Scottsdale area.
 
The suspects were seen driving a blue Toyota and broken car windows appears to have been caused by a baseball bat. 
 
All the cars that were vandalized were parked on the street so the police encourage motorist to park in driveways or garage.
 
If you have any information, please call Louisville Metro Police’s anonymous tip line at 574-LMPD.

Many neighborhoods in District 25 are forming Block Watches.  The Block Watch Program is an active partnership between the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) and area residents to increase community awareness and crime prevention. The Neighborhood Watch Program is a vital network that provides each resident with the knowledge and resources to fight crime.  In an effort to strengthen Block Watches, I will be sharing reported crimes that have occurred in the Third Division which protects District 25.  In addition, crime prevention tips will accompany the crime trends in an effort to fight crime.

Auto Theft Prevention Tips

1.      Lock your car doors and close your windows.

2. Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you do, make sure they are kept out of plain sight — hide them under a blanket, or better yet, lock them in your trunk.

3. When transporting valuables, place them in the trunk before you get to the location where you intend to park. Don’t transfer them at the parking place in open view of other people.

4. If you have a garage, use it.

5. Don’t leave your garage door opener on the dashboard or front seat. Put it in your glove box, hide it or take it with you.

6. Always park in a well-lighted area.

7. Use slide or portable mounts on add-on radios, citizens’ band radios (CBs), tape decks and telephones. When you leave your car, put them in the trunk or take them with you.

8. Mark radios, CBs, tape decks, telephones, batteries, wheel covers and tires with an Operation Identification number. If the stolen item is found later, the number can be traced back to you. To enroll in Operation ID, contact Community Crime Prevention/SAFE at 673-3204.

9. Remember: briefcases, sunglasses, clothing, keys, gyms bags and small change are all tempting to a thief.

10. Leave only the ignition key with the parking attendant in a commercial parking lot.

11. Keep your driver’s license and vehicle registration with you. Left with the car, the documents can be used by a thief to impersonate you when transferring the car’s ownership.

12. Car keys left at home (or at your business) should always be hidden. This will help prevent the theft of your vehicle if you are burglarized.

13. There are locks made for various marketable parts of cars. Battery locks, wheel locks and special tape deck lock mounts can save these items plus any damage that may occur in the process of stealing them.

14. Install a locking gas tank cap to help prevent gasoline theft and limit a thief’s driving range to one tank.

15. Park the front wheel turned sharply to the right or left, making it difficult for the professional thief to tow your car away backwards.

16. With front wheel drive cars: When you park, pull on the emergency brake and place your vehicle in Park. If you have a stick shift, pull on the emergency brake and shift into forward or reverse gear. All four wheels will be locked, making it difficult for a thief to tow your car.

17. Call 911 as soon as theft occurs.

Auto Theft Prevention Tips

1.      Lock your car doors and close your windows.

2. Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you do, make sure they are kept out of plain sight — hide them under a blanket, or better yet, lock them in your trunk.

3. When transporting valuables, place them in the trunk before you get to the location where you intend to park. Don’t transfer them at the parking place in open view of other people.

4. If you have a garage, use it.

5. Don’t leave your garage door opener on the dashboard or front seat. Put it in your glove box, hide it or take it with you.

6. Always park in a well-lighted area.

7. Use slide or portable mounts on add-on radios, citizens’ band radios (CBs), tape decks and telephones. When you leave your car, put them in the trunk or take them with you.

8. Mark radios, CBs, tape decks, telephones, batteries, wheel covers and tires with an Operation Identification number. If the stolen item is found later, the number can be traced back to you. To enroll in Operation ID, contact Community Crime Prevention/SAFE at 673-3204.

9. Remember: briefcases, sunglasses, clothing, keys, gyms bags and small change are all tempting to a thief.

10. Leave only the ignition key with the parking attendant in a commercial parking lot.

11. Keep your driver’s license and vehicle registration with you. Left with the car, the documents can be used by a thief to impersonate you when transferring the car’s ownership.

12. Car keys left at home (or at your business) should always be hidden. This will help prevent the theft of your vehicle if you are burglarized.

13. There are locks made for various marketable parts of cars. Battery locks, wheel locks and special tape deck lock mounts can save these items plus any damage that may occur in the process of stealing them.

14. Install a locking gas tank cap to help prevent gasoline theft and limit a thief’s driving range to one tank.

15. Park the front wheel turned sharply to the right or left, making it difficult for the professional thief to tow your car away backwards.

16. With front wheel drive cars: When you park, pull on the emergency brake and place your vehicle in Park. If you have a stick shift, pull on the emergency brake and shift into forward or reverse gear. All four wheels will be locked, making it difficult for a thief to tow your car.

17. Call 911 as soon as theft occurs.

5. Don’t leave your garage door opener on the dashboard or front seat. Put it in your glove box, hide it or take it with you.

6. Always park in a well-lighted area.

7. Use slide or portable mounts on add-on radios, citizens’ band radios (CBs), tape decks and telephones. When you leave your car, put them in the trunk or take them with you.

8. Mark radios, CBs, tape decks, telephones, batteries, wheel covers and tires with an Operation Identification number. If the stolen item is found later, the number can be traced back to you. To enroll in Operation ID, contact Community Crime Prevention/SAFE at 673-3204.

9. Remember: briefcases, sunglasses, clothing, keys, gyms bags and small change are all tempting to a thief.

10. Leave only the ignition key with the parking attendant in a commercial parking lot.

11. Keep your driver’s license and vehicle registration with you. Left with the car, the documents can be used by a thief to impersonate you when transferring the car’s ownership.

Auto Theft Prevention Tips

1.      Lock your car doors and close your windows.

2. Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you do, make sure they are kept out of plain sight — hide them under a blanket, or better yet, lock them in your trunk.

3. When transporting valuables, place them in the trunk before you get to the location where you intend to park. Don’t transfer them at the parking place in open view of other people.

4. If you have a garage, use it.

5. Don’t leave your garage door opener on the dashboard or front seat. Put it in your glove box, hide it or take it with you.

6. Always park in a well-lighted area.

7. Use slide or portable mounts on add-on radios, citizens’ band radios (CBs), tape decks and telephones. When you leave your car, put them in the trunk or take them with you.

8. Mark radios, CBs, tape decks, telephones, batteries, wheel covers and tires with an Operation Identification number. If the stolen item is found later, the number can be traced back to you. To enroll in Operation ID, contact Community Crime Prevention/SAFE at 673-3204.

9. Remember: briefcases, sunglasses, clothing, keys, gyms bags and small change are all tempting to a thief.

10. Leave only the ignition key with the parking attendant in a commercial parking lot.

11. Keep your driver’s license and vehicle registration with you. Left with the car, the documents can be used by a thief to impersonate you when transferring the car’s ownership.

12. Car keys left at home (or at your business) should always be hidden. This will help prevent the theft of your vehicle if you are burglarized.

13. There are locks made for various marketable parts of cars. Battery locks, wheel locks and special tape deck lock mounts can save these items plus any damage that may occur in the process of stealing them.

14. Install a locking gas tank cap to help prevent gasoline theft and limit a thief’s driving range to one tank.

15. Park the front wheel turned sharply to the right or left, making it difficult for the professional thief to tow your car away backwards.

16. With front wheel drive cars: When you park, pull on the emergency brake and place your vehicle in Park. If you have a stick shift, pull on the emergency brake and shift into forward or reverse gear. All four wheels will be locked, making it difficult for a thief to tow your car.

17. Call 911 as soon as theft occurs.
