I am surprised that the people who saw them running didn't call the police. We need to
remember that it is ok to call the cops for any suspicious activity. I call them for
anything that looks off. We need to call and have it checked out. I for one would rather
it be nothing and call than have it be something and not call. The police will check it
out no matter what.

Thank you 3 for the replies.
The house is a rental, I'm not sure if it has an alarm system...it has a Matrix sign
out front, but I don't know if the alarm is on. If that sign didn't deter them I
don't think an actual alarm would either.
I did not see the perps, but someone in the neighborhood did, and they didn't call
the police! This is the sort of thing that needs to be addressed...the common sense that
if you see someone running by a house with thei shirts off filled with goods, 911 should
be called. I didn't know about the break in until 24 hours later, and I assumed they
called the cops.
The point is everyone (and Vic), that this message board is about communication and
getting our issues heard so that higher authority (police) can do something about it.
There are constantly thug types walking up and down Milburnie, late into the night....we
obviously don't need to email each other about every unsavory character walking around
at night, because that would be presumptuous, but after having 2 break ins on the block,
during the daytime, in less than a month, I think that warrants some discussion and
consideration.

Hey Matt, this is Suleman (I live on Bertie) . I agree it is scary to be this close to
repeated robberies. My friends at the end of colleton had a break-in twice about 2 or so
years ago so they decided to get a security system . i know this option is not very
uplifting but it is some consolation. I agree w you more police presence is an immediate
next step. if you need my help/support email or call me---------Suleman 919 457 2921

Hi Logview....it has been over 24 hours since I sent out an email about the break in on
Thursday, the 2nd break in on this block in a month. The 3 robbers were seen and we have a
idea of where they went and might live. I find it disheartening that there has been no
communication since that email within this community. I'm sorry to call people out,
but I've also emailed Matt and Officer K individually twice hoping for a response, and
all we've gotten is silence.
While cookouts and clean ups are awesome and very fun, and fireworks are annoying, there
is a very real crime problem in our neighborhood, especially on Milburnie Rd between New
Bern and Raleigh Blvd, and to have those problems go unaddressed is both frustrating and
disheartening. I thought one of the main parts of Community Watch is to help keep our
community safe. I don't see how that can happen if there is no communication,
especially from our leaders in the community.
I will be calling the SE police district today and tomorrow in hopes of getting some help
about this issue and hopefully some better police presence on Milburnie. There are a lot
of children and elderly on this street, along with a lot of riff raff that need to be
dealt with and I hope everyone will please be diligent in communicating with one another,
as well as the leaders of community watch communicating with us. Otherwise, all of our
homes will be more at risk to this type of activity.
I'm sorry if this sounds bitchy or confrontational, but we really don't know what
else to do.
Hope everyone is well, stay safe.
