Attempted burglaries in Potomac

Update:  The meeting will be held on October 17 at 7:30 PM at Bells Mill ES.


Also, there is a Yahoo Group where local residents can post crime information.  The link to the group is PotomacCommunityAwareness@yahoogroups.com

There have been reports of attempted burglaries in nearby communities recently. I would like to thank Renzo and Jessica Bejarano for keeping me informed about these developments. Representatives of affected communities are arranging a meeting with the police and our Montgomery County Council Member, Roger Berliner. It appears the date of this meeting will be October 17, but no other details are available at this time.

Here is the email forwarded by Renzo and Jessica:

Subject: Another break in

All,

I received this today from the President of the Fox Hills Community HOA. He is coordinating a four neighborhood meeting where police and county councilmember Berliner want to alert residents to the county response to the recent attempted burglaries along gainsborough in your area. They want to hold the meeting at cabin john or bells mill schools but it may even be at potomac community center. I will keep you posted. Below is the latest report:

There was another attempted break-in on Tyler Terrace, just off Gainsborough Road between Bells Mill and Democracy, Friday night, September 23, approx 10:50 pm. Someone was attempting to jimmy the front door open. Homeowner called police but the people ran off and they didn't find anything. Dogs in neighboring house were going crazy. This is the same place where the Blue Mustang was parked LAST weekend--just out of view from the main road.

Keep lights on and lock up in the evening. If you are away, leave lights on timers. Speak to your immediate neighbors on both sides and behind to ensure that we are all working together. I noticed a lot of homes with no exterior lights on this week in our neighborhood. Please help spread the word about the security issues in our area.

Regards,

Dawn
