Hey neighbors, I hope this email finds you all well. I will keep this brief and to the point. The next LPCW meeting is coming up in a little more than a week. We will touch base on the restoration process under way along Locke, talk about recent crime activity in the area and follow up on the initiatives we started at the end of 2012. I hope you can all make it out to the meeting. Please note there has been a slight uptick in burglaries in the area. Be on the lookout for suspicious activity and don't hesitate to call it in to the Police. That's what they're here for. 3/5/13 at 7:00 PMMeeting location: Enloe Media Center Kind regards,Matt Leary

LPCW - Meeting Postponed

by Matt Leary

Hey folks, I was originally going to have a LPCW meeting next week at Enloe, but realized that Officer Krysko would be holding a East Raleigh Community Directed Priorities Meeting the same week. So as not to create "meeting fatigue", we'll shift the LPCW meeting to later in the month. I will post a revised date once I get confirmation from Enloe that the date change is okay with them. Since we won't be having the LPCW meeting next week, I highly encourage everyone to participate in the East Raleigh Community Directed Priorities Meeting. This will be a great opportunity to talk directly with the Police regarding issues affecting you in your area. Meeting information below.

Did anyone hear that? Sounded like a transformer blowing in the Longview Lake area. Don't think it was a gun shot... Heath Dickens Drive Sent from my iPhone

FW: [East-CAC] suspicious solicitation

by Matt Leary

Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:06:12 -0500 From: annquarles(a)gmail.com To: east-cac(a)eastraleigh.org Subject: [East-CAC] suspicious solicitation Hi Neighbors,I just had a strange interaction with a solicitor. A woman just came to my back door with her hand over her eyes to shield her view from the glare on the glass storm door and appeared to be trying to see inside. It did not look like she saw that I was inside. I came to door and asked if I could help her, and she showed me a laminated flyer and said that she was offering floor cleaning. She appeared to be looking inside my house to see what kinds of floor I had as she made up her spiel about the kinds of floors that they cleaned. I told her I wasn't interested. Then I asked why she came to my back door instead of the front door. She said that she saw my car parked behind the house and thought that would be where I would be. I said, Well, usually people come to the front door. She walked back down my driveway and got into a brown SUV that was stopped on the street (not in the driveway). This was very strange because my house it as the top of a hill in a no-parking zone, and cars do not usually stop right there. The SUV drove off as soon as she got in and went down the road. The woman was wearing a black sweatsuit (zippered black jacket and black pants). She was around average height (probably 5'6" or so), white complexion, spoke with a bit of an Eastern European accent, black hair with gray that was pulled back. It looked like there were at least two other people in the SUV. I just called the police to report this suspicious behavior. Please be on the lookout. Thanks,Ann2213 Rumson _______________________________________________ East-CAC mailing list East-CAC(a)eastraleigh.org http://www.eastraleigh.org/mailman/listinfo/east-cac
