CPW-NW Crime Alert: Car breakin-ins on the 9300 block of St. Andrews Place

Dear Neighbors:

A resident on the 9300 block of St. Andrews Place has sent us the following report:

<< We live [on the 9300 block of ] St. Andrews Place and on August 19th at approximately 7:30 a.m., we discovered our cars had been broken into.  We believe this occurred sometime between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.  The alarms did not sound for either car.  One was parked in the driveway – it was broken into, vandalized and items from glove box and pockets were strewn all over the car.  The other car was on the street immediately in front of the house — the passenger side window on that car was broken, the contents  strewn all over.  We called the police, they came and took a report and inspected the cars.  They advised us this was their second call of the morning for vehicle damage. >>

Mary Cook, our District 4 City Councilmember, has asked Bob Ryan, Director of Public Services for College Park, to increase contract police patrol of our neighborhood, and Bob informs us that an investigation is on-going on the happenings of last Wednesday, August 19th.

In the meantime, please continue to be on the alert and report all suspicious activity, persons and vehicles to the police — 301-333-4000 for non-emergies and 911 for anything you sense is worth police attention right away.
