Like the swallows' return to Capistrano, crime is returning to Baja Mahncke. In the space of about a month, some residents in the area roughly bordered by Tendick, Eleanor, Wesley, and Ira were subject to criminal mischief and burglaries. The mischief consisted of windows broken by rocks, 2 of these in the morning hours at the time students are on their way to school. A vacant house was broken into at approximately 9:00 p.m. And a neighboring house had a rear window broken in an attempt to gain entry at approximately 10:00 a.m. Neighbors in this area should especially be on the lookout for each other. If you know of any other reported crimes in any part of the neighborhood please post it in the Talk About It section of the homepage.
