Dear LNT Crime Watch Members,

 

On December 23, 2008, a home in Lower Nazareth was burglarized.  This came to my attention Christmas Day, and I wanted to confirm the incident before sending an email.  Due to the Christmas Holiday, its taken longer to verify and transmit this information to you.

 

The facts of the burglary incident as I currently know them are: 

 

Location - Off Newburg Rd. along Carol-Ann Way.

Point of entry - 1st floor unlocked front window.  

Time of Incident - Between 12:00 noon & 5:00 PM.

Items taken - Personal items.

 

If you have seen anything suspicious in the area within the date and time noted above, please contact the Colonial Regional Police Department (CRPD), Detective Unit at 610-330-2200.  You can also notify me through this email address if you wish.

 

Safety Tips:

 

1. Keep all doors and windows locked, especially when your not at home.

2. If you have a house alarm, use it.

3. Make note (description of individuals, vehicles involved, and license plate numbers) of any unusual activity in your neighborhood, especially around your neighbor's house.  DO NOT CONFRONT THEM, CALL 911. 

4. If you are going on vacation, or going to be away from home for an extended time, notify the CRPD that you will be away, and ask a neighbor if they would keep a eye on your house during your absence.

5. Use light timers for nighttime hours, and make sure newspapers do not accumulate in front of your house.

 

The LNT Neighbor Crime Watch is in the process of creating a web site where you can find safety and program information.

 

The CRPD cannot be everywhere when crime strikes......We must do our part to assist them in keeping our community safe.

If you know of any relatives, friends, or neighbors who have not registered as a "Member" with the Lower Nazareth Township Neighborhood Crime Watch Program urge them to do so now.
