Hello Neighbors,

Living in the South End is great however lately our area is experiencing a significant spike in break-ins and muggings during peak foot traffic & daylight hours.

WE CAN KILL THIS RASH AS EASILY AS WE HAVE BEFORE WITH A FEW SIMPLE STEPS:

1) Report any suspicious activity to 911 immediately (617.343.4911 from cell phone) -- there need not be an actual crime committed to prompt a call into 911! If something doesn't look right it probably isn't, and too often folks notice something amiss before a crime is committed but never bother alerting police. It’s always best to take 30 seconds & give police a heads-up to investigate. More calls to 911 will increase regular police presence in the neighborhood.

2) Walk without earbuds or talking on cellphone.

4) Keep electronics out of sight at home & in the car, keep window curtains closed when out.

5) Keep lights ON indoors & out at night -- light is the #1 deterrent of crime.
