Burglary at 288 Third St
Yesterday I ran into our Problem Solving Officer, TK Lewis, in Jack London Square. He mentioned that a purse had been reported stolen at a business located at 288 Third St. The suspect was an African-American riding a bicycle. Turns out that the purse was stolen from the sales office...
Today one of the ground floor units at 288 Third Street was burglarized, and a laptop was stolen amongst other things. The victim says that the perpetrator had to have used keys to get in, so it seems like keys may also have been stolen yesterday.
Peerless Coffee at 3rd & Oak Streets was also burglarized Thursday night. The suspect(s) broke a window to gain entry, but other than an empty cash drawer, nothing was taken.
Prime Smoked Meats had some serious graffitti over Thanksgiving - already painted over thanks to the prompt response from owner Steve Sacks and his crew.
Keep your eyes on alert and use a buddy system. As the holidays approach darkness comes earlier, it gets colder, and people seem to be getting more desperate...
