Hi All, I am not sure if this has been mentioned before but it seemed SO important that I had bring it up (again??).
I have been hearing reports about NUMEROUS (at least 35 when I was told) break-ins in Charles Village recently and wanted to verify this. I know that this "crime wave" has been brought up at one of the recent meetings but don't know which one (Benefits District or one of the other ones, I don't keep track). I'm surprised it wasn't passed on to us. So I checked out the online police stats and found the reports to be true. I checked from November 1to today and saw a whole bunch of break-ins, "larceny from vehicles", and car thefts. If you want to see these stats for yourself, go to: http://141.157.54.34/bpdmaps/ (Baltimore police crime-site) Search by neighborhood Set Police District to "Northern district" Set Neighborhood to "Charles Village" Set a time period (note: you are restricted to a 2-week time period so if you want to see a long period of time, you have to do a bunch of searches) I don't know about you but this is REALLY upsetting to me. Are we doing something about this? From the posts I have read I understand that we do have more police than usual. But is there anything else we can do? If the Benefits District is aware of these stats, should we have been informed?

As we advised you earlier, we have joined forces with a coalition of neighborhoods to see if we can do something collectively which we do not appear to be able to accomplish individually.

In a big hurry and a short period of time, they stole cash and jewelry, leaving electronics, etc. The items were ones that would easily slip into pockets or small bags. The police suspect that the person rang the doorbell, when no one answered it, they kicked the door in and carried on with the burglary. > >Please keep an eye out for suspicious characters in the neighborhood.
