It has come to my attention that there is a group of people breaking into cars and garages in our neighborhood. Please be sure your property is secure and watch for any suspicious activity.

Michigan heat has a listing of the ten most stolen vehicles at: http://www.miheat.org/atpa.aspx#most Additionally Michigan heat reports that thieves are targeting vehicles for their catalytic converters; due to the valuable metal contained in them. The thieves typically use portable saws and cause significant damage to the vehicle. Any one who witnesses this is encouraged to report it to Michigan heat at 1-800-242-HEAT or www.1800242HEAT.com. ----------------------------------------------------------- There has been report of some drug sales activity in the neighborhood. This is particularly worrisome due the high number of vacant homes in the neighborhood. If you suspect drug activity please call Detroit Police Northwest District at 313-596-5600 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
