Just days after hosting a Crown Hill crime prevention meeting, Catherine Weatbrook of the Crown Hill Business Association sent us the following note:
Seems we have two groups of prowlers making the rounds up here – one group has a skeleton key or other means of getting in without triggering alarms or breaking windows. The other group breaks windows. Frequently targeted by the skeleton key group are GPS units. All reports I have are since 6/13, all within about 12 blocks of each other. 3 cars in a 10 house dead-end street got hit the night of 6/15. I know of 15 cars hit since then. Somewhere there’s someone selling a lot of pretty new GPS units – cheap.
