A crime wave of auto break-ins has hit Norwood Gardens, especially on 35th, 36th and 37th Streets, Last night (March 26th) 4 break-ins occurred, two on 36th Street.
Most of the crimes occur after midnight and target cars with a GPS (or evidence of one) and cars with visible items inside.
If your car has been broken into, file a 911 report. NNA has requested surveillance cameras so who ever is targeting this neighborhood will be caught, therefore the 911 crime reports are very important.
Be aware and be careful. Do not leave anything in your auto. Please be sure to tell visitors from out-of-town not to leave anything in their car.
Below is a flier that was distributed and left on all parked cars and at each home on 36th street by a resident last week. E-mail address on flier for any tips is: 36thStreetCrimeStoppers@gmail.com
Norwood Gardens is so fortunate to receive many new spring trees! The trucks arrived before 7 AM this morning with equipment to enlarge old tree pits so mature trees will have better living quarters and be able to stay healthy.
Old pits, filled with rubble, concrete and dead tree stumps will be cleaned up, debris removed. Fresh soil will be added so young trees have a healthy start.
Trees are wonderful additions to our neighborhood. They help drain storm water, filter our air of pollution, cool the environment and add so much beauty.
Let's take care of them! Please help us help them thrive.
Take a moment to keep their home free of litter. Unfortunately some people do not clean up after their dog. Dog dropping are the most harmful as they sit and the chemicals are absorbed by the tree's root system and do not add to a tree's well being. Take a second when you pass by to pick up litter. Add water to quench its thirst so it will grow up healthy and strong.
Treat your new tree well and you will enjoy its beauty and benefits for many years to come.
