Five young men, ages 11 to 17, have been arrested for "an overnight crime spree that included breaking into at least two homes, stealing two vehicles and prowling through dozens of cars. "
Their robberies were stopped by a local resident who saw the boys cutting a screen on a vacant house in the 3000 block of Harbor Drive Southeast off Marion Road. Officers discovered the vehicle itself had been reported stolen about 3 a.m. that day from the Century Hills area. They had also stolen a Jeep.
"Officers were told by the teens that they had been at the Country Club Manor home twice the previous evening, Muyres said. When they cut the screen, the people were still up, so the group left and returned later, when the occupants were asleep."
Answer?
Rigorous enforcement of a curfew, for one.
Police should be stopping cars with young men tooling around neighborhoods they don't live in.
Call the cops on groups of young men hanging around neighborhoods.
Be vigilant. Look outside.
Lock your doors and windows.
Buy a shotgun.
