Dear West Meadowbrook Residents,
Just the other day my next door neighbor informed me that her plumbing had started leaking and that she walked outside at 5:30am to shut off the water at the curb. As she was turning off the water a mature, white haired, caucasion male approached in a white van, stopped, walked over to her, and physically grabbed her attempting to drag her to the van. She managed to break his grip, ran to the house and called the police. By the way, my next door neighbor is a woman in her mid-thirties. Only a week prior a white Chevy Crew Cab truck with a black ranch guard circled our block seven times. The balding, heavyset caucasion male with eyeglasses made several attempts to attract the attention of my neighbor's 14 yo grand-daughter as she did yardwork. This event I personally witnessed and provided the 911 dispatcher with an accurate description of the truck and its driver from the shoulder up. For those of you still reading I can say that these events were two too many to occur in one week's passing for me to accept.
With all this being said, I wish to bring to your attention the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website, http://www.nsopr.gov.
This one website alone lists 29 sex offenders in the 76103 zip code. Now for something more startling - this website does not list every documented sex offender in our area. Among these 29 listed offenders are people of every description and every disturbing predisposition. There is also surprisingly one female listed. According to the National Registry of sex offenders there are 35 reprobates listed in the 76103 area and by some estimates there are more.
I urge all residents in our area especially those with pre-teen and teenage children to familiarize yourself with this web site and others like: www.familywatchdog.us, www.mapsexoffenders.com, www.RegisteredOffendersList.org.
Please take advantage of these resources and know your neighbors. You might be surprised who may be living down the street.
Likewise, prostitution is again rampant along Lancaster. Many may foolishly dissmiss this as victim-less activity but in truth such conduct goes hand-in-hand with drugs, theft, and other criminal activity. A scores of individuals can be commonly seen on Lancaster from Riverside to Oakland and points further east, brazenly soliciting. Unknown to many is that these individuals often use our neighborhoods to ply their trade. Flea-bite hotels along Lancaster are not where these individuals practise their nightly gymnastic routinesand liasons. It is our neighborhoods, in drug houses, cul-de-sacs, and parks where these activities take place. Please report these individuals and call 911 to report solcitation and suspicious behavior.
