To Strathcona Block Watches: Please circulate widely the following caution from a resident at Georgia and Jackson. And take extra care on our streets at night.
"Early Saturday morning, at about 3:45 am, a young neighbour was robbed of her purse near the corner of Georgia and Jackson by a dark haired, slim white man carrying a crow bar.
Even though I saw this man through my window, I could not get a good description of him. My neighbour was of course very frightened, but was able to give a description to the police, and from what I could tell, not hurt.
Please see your friends in at night. Be aware of your surroundings when you get out of your car or leave the bus, and please, please, don't ignore screams outside your window."
And a very sad note from the VPD's website about a violent incident at Jackson and Hastings two months ago.
"A 52 year old woman who was beaten in a vicious assault on June 12th has now died. Homicide #11 of 2007 occurred in the 300 block of Jackson St. The woman never regained consciousness after the assault and was pronounced dead early in the morning of August 11th.
Robert Michael Bennight, a 55 year old Vancouver resident, has been charged."
