Another good thing to do is call JCPL if you have any burnt out street lights
in your neighborhood.
The car jacking last week took place on Bergh right across the street from me,
on the block between AP Ave and 1st. There hasn't been a working street light
there in years, and there's been quite a few cars broken into.
A neighbor two doors away recently installed a 5 camera video surveillance
system and it caught the car jacking in detail, and the video was used by the
APPD to help apprehend one of the two suspects involved. The person who got
away was the spotter who was in another car.
