A message from Capt. Cassanego at Ingleside: Everyday Heros

September 10, 2010 by Elizabeth Weise

Captain’s Message: Lately, I have been writing about “Neighborhood Heroes.” Neighborhood heroes are residents who see suspicious activity and report it to the police. Here is another example of a hero: On Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 11:30 in the morning, our hero walked out of his home and saw two persons wearing black hooded sweatshirts standing against a building. The two stood next to each other and kept looking about, as if they were “lookouts.” Our hero stared at them, which made the two nervous. A third person was walking a dog and got into a parked vehicle. The two previous persons ran to the same vehicle and got in. The vehicle then drove away, but not before our hero wrote down the license plate. Our hero was concerned because of the recent incidents of burglaries. He was so concerned, he drove around the neighborhood to conduct his own investigation and spotted the vehicle parked. He saw a person wearing a black hooded sweatshirt coming out of a neighbor’s house. Our hero knew he wasn’t a resident and called the police. When the police arrived, our hero pointed out the vehicle, which was now unoccupied. Officers found multiple laptops in the vehicle. After a little investigation, one of the suspects was taken into custody and stolen property from the burglary was recovered.

You are the neighborhood expert when it comes to a suspicious person, suspicious activity and when something is “out of place” in your community. Just your observations and a phone call can stop, not only a crime, but possibly a crime wave. Take care, Captain Louis Cassanego Once again, this example shows how you can be a neighborhood hero.
