Important Crime Alert from the Grant Park Security Patrol

Grant Park - Sunday, December 08, 2013 IMPORTANT CRIME ALERT This morning there was a home invasion burglary in the 500 block of Glenwood Ave. There were 4 people sleeping in the home. At about 6:30 AM the perp pried open the back door, stole a computer, guitars, electronics, set of keys and the owners Dodge Durango. The thief left behind 2 packages of Duraflame kindling! Anyone missing this item from the trunk of a car or back porch? Please look out for a silver Durango, tag number BC23W4. There was a similar burglary yesterday on Woodland Ave in Ormewood Park. At that home the resident was awakened at about 4 AM and scared off the perp. A side window was pried open at that home. Last week a home was burglarized on Home Ave near Confederate at 4AM while the homeowners were gone. The alarm limited the theft to one TV. If you have a home alarm system our patrol officers advise setting it to a STAY function. With most systems this will active the alarm if a door is opened. We'll be reaching out to our patrol officers to see if we can get some early morning coverage for now. LT Iosty typically will patrol one day each week starting at about 6AM. We'll try to add a couple more shifts. Please be alert and always call 911 if something doesn't look right. Take a few minutes to record serial numbers and inventory valuables. Activate a tracker APP for phones and computers.
