Tuesday, July 10, 2012, two Village residents arriving home observed a young male being physically attacked by a couple other young males. The residents hollered at the attackers who fled, went to assist the youth being attacked and called for the North Syracuse Police. Another youth approached the citizens advising them he had also been attacked. When the police arrived in the area they spotted three supects ordered them to stop but they fled on foot and one on a bike. One of the suspect was taken into custody by the Officr while other area agency officers arrived to continue the search. A second suspect was taken into custody. Upon returning to the police department with the two suspects the third suspect turned himself in. The Victims ages, 15 and 17, were transported to the hospital and released after treatment. The suspects, ages 15, 16, qnd 18 ,were arraigned on charges of Robbery, assault, conspiracy, larceny, and the 18 year old was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child .
The timely reporting of this incident by the Village residents and quick response of the Village Police was another example of citizens working in partnership with the police that resulted in the suspects of this crime being identified and arrested.
The Citizen Eyes and Ears of the Community working with the Police Department were successful in apprehending the suspect of another crime in progress.
Saturday, July 7, 2012, shortly after midnight a citizen reported a suspicious vehicle in the Toll Road Senior Housing Apartments parking lot. North Syracuse Police Officers Linstruth and Quill arrived on the scene and determined one of the occupants of the suspicious vehicle entered an UNLOCKED vehicle and stole a couple items. During the course of the investigation it was determined the suspect had attempted to enter other vehicles but was unsuccessful because they were locked. The suspect, a 19 year old male from the Liverpool area was charged with pettit larceny.
As we mentioned a couple weeks ago in the Village Beat, there had been some incidents of unlocked vehicles being entered in the Village and surrounding area, and we encouraged everyone to lock their cars. In this instance it appears some people heeded the advice as only one vehicle is know to have been found unlocked by the suspect.
Again, the eyes and ears of the community, you, the citizen partners working with your North Syracuse Police Officers, were responsible for bringing this case to a successful conclusion with an arrest of the suspect and recovering the stolen property.
We appreciate your support and assistance.
We are looking forward to a few more people signing on to participate in a helping us organize a Neighborhood Watch Program in the Village. Please call the North Syracuse Police Office at 458-5670, 8 a m – 4 p m, Monday through Friday, to let us know of your interest in the Neighborhood Watch Program.
Greetings from your North Syracuse Police Department. Please stay safe in this hot and humid weather.
We would like to encourage you be sure to take your valuables out of the car and lock them, particularly when they are parked outside overnight. Yes, there has been a few thefts from cars in the village and surrounding areas outside the village. We also had about a dozen bronze metal flag holders stolen from the cemetery. So if you have seen or heard anything let us know. We appreicate your eyes and ears helping us to keep the North Syracuse community safe.
The following is a little information we’d like to share about activity of the Village Police Department so far this year.
January to date the Police Department investigated a total of 71 property damage and personal injury accidents. We are glad to report there were no fatalities. In the same time period we issued 404 traffic tickets including 42 Driving While Intoxicated arrests and 20 parking tickets.
The Department responded to 2,497 calls for service, in this same time period, the most significant felony crime being the Solvay Bank robbery last Friday, June 15, 2012. Working in cooperation with the Sheriff’s Office the suspect was arrested that same evening. Kudos to our officers and the Sheriff’s for their quick and cooperative work effort that resulted in that arrest.
June 20, 2012, North Syracuse Officers responded to a prowler complaint behind the Malta House. Having previous occurrences in that area of thefts from Mr. 2nd, Officers approached from different directions and caught two suspects attempting to leave with stolen property from Mr. 2nd, while a third suspect escaped on foot. Subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of all 3 suspects, revealed the individuals were suspects in a Sheriff’s investigation in the Mattydale area earlier that day and that they were in possession of property stolen in the City of Oswego, that had not been reported yet. A large quantity of stolen property, of substantial value, was recovered from the perpetrators residences in Constantia and Syracuse. We credit the officers alertness to the prior occurrence of thefts at Mr. 2nd, quickly responding, and strategically coordinating their response from different directions, for the apprehension, arrest, and recovery of stolen property. Their follow-up investigation using current technology also identified property that the rertailer in Oswego had not yet discovered was stolen. The great work of our officers coupled with the eyes and ears of the citizen who called in the prowler complaint was another example the citizens working with the police to bring a successful conclusion to undesireable conduct in the community. Keep up the great team work Police and citizens.
The North Syracuse Police Department is interested in revitalizing the Village Neighborhood Watch Program. To start the process we need Village residents talking with their families, friends and neighbors to identify interested citizens and notify the police department with names and contact information. We have made contact with the Countywide Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, Russ Mitchell, who is excited about the opportunity to work with the police department and village residents to revitalize our Neighborhood Watch Program
Following is some information obtained from the National Crime Prevention Council web site to familiarize you with Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch is one of the oldest and most effective crime prevention programs in the country, bringing citizens together with law enforcement to deter crime and make communities safer. Neighborhood Watch counts on citizens to organize themselves and work with law enforcement to keep a trained eye and ear on their communities at all times of day and night. Neighborhood Watch works because it reduces opportunities for crime to occur. Neighborhood Watch operations working with the police can
Please pass the word, check with your neighbors and notify the Police Department of your interest in rejuvenating our Neighborhood Watch Program. We look forward to hearing from you at 458-5670 during normal office hours 8-4 Monday through Friday.
