3rd District Alderwoman Kristen Wilhelm sent out a mass e-mail last night addressing several topics affecting her district. The first topic, however, was one that has been affecting many citywide.
Please pass along this IMPORTANT NEWS. I have received several reports of attempted break-ins related to patio doors. Please talk with your neighbors, keep an eye out for anything unusual, report suspicious activity, check windows and install re-enforcement bars on patio doors. Apparently, at least at this time, they are searching for jewelry and smaller less conspicuous items and leaving the large electronics.
I couldn't agree with Alderwoman Wilhelm more. These are the times where residents need to be a little more watchful of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police. To contact dispatch, the number is (414) 425-2522.
