Update from Grant Park Security Patrol

                                               INCIDENT LAST NIGHT

This report is from a GPSP member who lives on Delmar near Confederate.

Shortly before 9pm, I noticed an unfamiliar Jeep parked across the street.  I happened to be in my car, so I pulled out of my driveway to get the license plate number.  A few minutes later, a young black male got out of the Jeep and walked towards me.  I asked him if I could help him.  He said his “auntie" lived next door.  When I firmly asked him to leave, he threatened to rob and hurt me.  I didn’t have my phone, so I honked the HELL out my horn.  Luckily, my neighbor came outside and scared him away.

I called the police and reported the incident.  The police found the Jeep ditched at Stanton Park tonight.  It was reported stolen yesterday.  The police also shared that the same guy threatened to rob a woman on the corner of Mead and Boulevard, minutes after my incident.   So they’re looking for him now.

I am thankful no one got hurt and the police were responsive.  I’m also grateful for vigilant neighbors.

I want to remind you that if you see ANYTHING suspicious, please notify the police right away…or at least honk your horn until it drives your neighbors (and hopefully the perpetrator) nuts.

Description:
The person who threatened me is a young black male, around 16 years of age.  Medium build and height.  His hair was 2-3 inches long.  He wore a light grey sweat shirt and pants with the number 3 on the sweatshirt.  The 3 was the color blue.

                                              
In this situation and with the robbery on Wednesday the victims did exactly the right thing. When necessary comply and if the opportunity is available,  take action.
