Strathcona Block Watch Alert: 2007-07-04

To Strathcona Block Watches: Either it's not been as quiet as we thought or the "break-and-enter workers" are out checking on our homes. Be alert and advise your neighbours to be also.

Remember: Vancouver has one of the highest property crime rates, if not the highest, of any city in North America.

It also looks like there is a burglar active in Strathcona who's breaking windows. All three reported recent attempts have involved use of burglary tools.

1. Last night a house in 600 Union was broken into. The burglars broke a window in the early evening but neighbours seem not to have heard.

2. 500 Hawks reports an attempted break-in, fortunately interrupted.

"There was an attempted break-in on Sunday Morning next door to us, the guy broke the window but was thwarted. I suspect that there are events going unreported on the blockwatch network. Maybe its not as quiet as we think it has been."
