Break-in's south of N Decatur Rd

The Clairemont/Great Lakes neighborhood reports two recent break-ins. One occurred Friday August 21, at 6xx Clairemont. The back door had been kicked in. The intruder took some coins and left their own umbrella, apparently taking shelter from the rain. On the same weekend, a house on Geneva St. was broken into while the residents were out for the evening. A laptop and Blackberry were the only items taken. The burglar(s) were not deterred by a dog in the home.

Briarcliff Woods Neighborhood Watch alert

The Briarcliff Woods Neighborhood Watch was told to look out for the below. There are two vehicles they want you to watch for: One is a white, paneled van with carpet cleaning service advertised on the truck - potentially carpet cleaning. A white male with long brown hair and possibly a female with him with white/blond hair have been sighted in the truck. This is not a couple who would ordinarily attract our suspicions--pretty clean cut looking. Notice the Van had "CARPET CLEANING" in red lettering on both sides. Good cover for thieves.....
