A car that was parked in the alley on Halwell was broken into last night.  The owner of the car did not have personal items in there, except for a few children's DVD's, which most of the cases were empty.  :-)  Luckily, the owner of the car had taken the advice from Officer Dawson and had called his garage door company and purchased a key chain opener, so the criminals could not get into the garage.  Kudos to you!  The police will come investigate and more information will posted soon, if needed.  Please remember to park your cars in the garage and leave ALL OUTSIDE LIGHTS ON FROM DUSK TILL DAWN!!!

At approximately 3:30am, 4 tires were stolen off of a truck that was parked on Warrington directly under the street lamp.  The good news is that they caught the 5 suspects.  They are currently sitting in the Plano jail!  The suspects stole a jack out of another person's car that was parked in the driveway in the alley and used it to remove the tires.  These criminals have been hitting many of the neighborhoods in our area, so it's not just Wyndham Hill.  It is very important to park your cars INSIDE your garage or behind an electric gate, if you have one.  It's also extremely important to keep your outside lights on throughout the ENTIRE evening.   DO NOT turn your lights off until the morning.  Speaking from a personal standpoint, it is very dark on our streets in the middle of the night.  I've witnessed this on many occasions.  We must do our part to be proactive in fighting crime by doing these simple requests.

Thought that word should get out that we had our car broken into and the video screen located inside on the ceiling of the car was ripped out.  The car was parked in our driveway in the alley behind our home.  Thought maybe you could spread the word and see if anybody else in the neighborhood has had a similar experience lately.  Jeanie Gibson, 6205 Walling Lane

A black F-250 was seen 3-13-2009 driving slowly through the neighborhood and then parked near the woods at the north end of the neighborhood. Police investigated and called to let us know they had investigated a vehicle matching the description we provided when we reported the break-in. Though the vehicle was not involved in the theft at our house, some of the teenagers inside the vehicle had narcotics in their possession. Arrests were made. From our side, we’re still waiting on word from the investigator regarding the vehicle we reported a couple of weeks ago that we believe is linked to the theft. Jason left a message for the detective on Friday and will follow up again today. We’ll keep you posted!

On Sunday night at 3012 Hallwell Dr., someone got into both our cars (cars were parked on the street in front of the house), and stole a Garmin Nuvi Navigation system and several CDs. The cars did not look broken into.

A HOME ON WARRINGTON WAS BURGLARIZED ON Wednesday, DECEMBER 19TH AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30pm.  They came in through the back yard and busted down the back door.  This was in broad daylight and most of the surrounding neighbors were home!  Please arm your security systems, lock your gates to your backyards, and lock your doors to your garage. 

If your security system is not currently being monitored, you are welcome to contact CIS at 972.241.2299 and ask for Robert.  He will be happy to assist you with all of your security needs.

December 12, 2007

Around approximately 12:30pm/1:00pm on Monday morning, a white male in his late 20’s/early 30’s drove up to a house on Hallwell and parked in front of it.  The man got out of his car, approached the door, looked under the mat and then ran his hand around the trim of the front door.  Apparently, he was looking for a house key that may have been left outside as so many of us often do.  After not finding one, the man got back into his car (slate blue or smoke colored economy car) and drove off onto Warrington towards Midway.  The homeowner was home at the time and witnessed all of this.  She phoned the police and they came out and took a report.  The officer advised the homeowner to call our neighborhood crime watch officer to come and evaluate the safety of their home.  This is a FREE EVALUATION that the city of Plano provides.  Our crime watch officer is Officer Dawson. 

 PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE EXTRA HOUSE KEYS OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME, UNDER A DOOR MAT OR IN A FLOWER POT BY THE FRONT DOOR. 

 Be extra cautious this time of year – and always!  There have been too many incidents in neighborhoods, at the malls, and even in grocery store parking lots in BROAD DAYLIGHT!  If you have any suspicion at all about a person or situation in the neighborhood, DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL 911.

 Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Suspicious Person Seen In Glen Meadows

You may recall a month or two ago a neighbor in Glen
Meadows was stopped by a man who said he just moved
into the neighborhood and needed gas money to pick up 
his wife. He gave a fictitious address. He's back and
may have brought a friend. We know of at least five
people who have been approached this past week in our
neighborhood and in the Villas of Glen Meadows to our 
south. The following information was given to us by
(or reported to) the Plano Police:

Description: Caucasian, approximately 6' tall, brown
hair, receding hair line, very thin, 40 years old.
Dresses well, talks fast. 

Name: Michael Berry (goes by "Mike")

Vehicle:  Black (or dark) 2006 Ford F-150 with body
damage in the front LICENSE PLATE #73MYN3

Description of Friend: Caucasian, approximately 5' 6"
tall, approx. 130 lbs, blonde hair, military style 
cut.

This man is stopping cars, pan-handling in yards and
is now going DOOR-TO-DOOR asking for money for (a)
gasoline; (b) his wife's car needs a jump; (c) she is
in the hospital at Presbyterian Hospital; or (d) a 
similar story.  A neighbor in the Villas gave him
money when he said he was the owner of a property for
lease over there (he found out what the owner's name
is) and the neighbor believed him.

According to the police, he has been all over North 
Dallas, Plano, Allen, Frisco and surrounding areas
since 2004.  He has been very visible lately in West
Plano, mostly off Midway. He is a "bad character." If
this person comes to your door the police suggest
saying "hold on let me get some money for you" lock
the door and call 9-1-1 (or consider doing so
immediately after he leaves your property). They need
to be called while he is still in the area. DO NOT
tell him you are calling the police. 

Right now all they can get him on is a violation of
soliciting without a permit and driving without a
valid Driver's License. So far there have not been any
physical altercations nor has he been confrontational. 
If someone says no, he just moves on. He may have a
possible drug problem so, of course, this could very
well change.

These two individuals have been knocking on doors over
the past week in our neighborhood and in the Villas in 
the mornings around 7:30am, with the truck parked
close by. We have requested additional police patrols
in Glen Meadows and these should start immediately.

PLEASE remind your family not to open the door to 
anyone they do not know and keep your doors locked!
Be sure and report similar incidents or if you see him
or his vehicle call the police immediately (9-1-1) so
they have a better chance of arresting him. If you 
e-mail gmha07@gmail.com we will also share updated
information with neighbors.
