The recent arrests were great news, but we all need to remain vigilant. In case you missed this item in one of Capt. O’Leary’s recent updates: A Merced Manor District couple was robbed of their wallet and purse at gun point by two suspects at Moultrie and Cortland at 12:10am.
A police office I asked about this ongoing wave of gunpoint street crime told me that several crews are running around the city robbing people in this way. And this particular style of crime appears to be "fad-ish" among younger criminals.
The upshot is that our neighborhood is not alone in seeing this, the police are trying to take steps to stop the wave, and we all have to be very careful in walking around our neighborhood — particularly as soon as the sun goes down.

That’s awful that gunpoint crime is becoming fad-like in that neighborhood. It’s nice to see that the people are taking steps to stop this though. Surviving a robbery at gunpoint can be traumatic. If you know anyone that might need some solace, they can find catharsis in this new documentary series “I Survived” on the Biography Channel on Mondays @ 9pm ET. It features real-life survivors from all walks of life. I work for Bio so I got to preview some episodes and saw one where this woman got kidnapped from her home,raped and then shot. And you hear her narrate how she survived the entire time! If you want to find out more about the show or preview some clips you can at http://www.biography.com/isurvived/ . Anyone here thinking of tuning in?
