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!
March 2, 2008
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.

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.
