There has been several residents who have reported to us the following suspicious vehicles/persons.

1. 6.10.09 – suspicious person spotted walking out of an alley on Syracuse (7200 blk.) White t-shirt, African-American- Male in 20’s, baggy denim shorts, sneakers, medium build. 911 was called and they questioned him at DART and he said he had to relieve himself in the alley. Not certain if they cited him but a similar person was seen several weeks prior and 911 was called.

2. There has been a vehicle reported seen driving around the neighborhood several times during the day–Maroon in color, older Capri, with big wheels, Texas Plate - 707-HBV - 911 was called.

Suspicious Vehicle – FYI – there was an attempted residential burglary on 7200 Blk. of Syracuse occurred on May 9th, Saturday around 8:30 a.m. - the residents were home. Suspects knocked at the door several times. The resident went to the door (took a few minutes) in the meantime, the resident noticed the suspects were about to take a screen off a window. The resident addressed them and suspects made up a story saying that they thought a previous owner lived there. They quickly left – the description given was (two African-American males, 20’s, 5ft. 10 - in a beat up Light Green Previa van – Lic. Plate: 073-VBT).

May 2009 - We ask all neighbors to be aware and report any and all suspicious activity to 911. Giving details like make, model and color of vehicle will be extremely helpful to Dallas Police. Taking a partial license plate is better than no number at all.

We also ask that you notify your contractors, that are doing your home repairs, of our patrols and to let them know that we are strong and active.

We highly suggest using the contractors listed on the contractors page. We have a list of plumbers, electricians, etc… that reside in our neighborhood and are ready to become your contractor!

2. Make sure your parked car is well lit during night hours or parked in your garage.

4. If you are expecting packages to be delivered to your home ask a neighbor to get it from your porch and hold it until you get home or have it delivered to a trusted stay at home neighbor.

6. Keep your garage doors shut, even while you do yard work. Keep your door opener with you while you work.

7. “No Solicitation Sign” – we encourage every resident to get a sign and attach it to your front porch in plain view.

If you have any information, please call the Northeast Investigative Unit at 214-670-4416.
