THIEVES/VANDALS
INCREASED ACTIVITY
WITH WARMER WEATHER

Be alert, observe and act when you spot
punks casing our hood, or hanging out
at Buckingham Pond Park , Greenway
and Crestwood Plaza.

Expect an increase in home/ car break
ins and street robberies.

Every resident of our neighborhood is
part of our neighborhood watch.

Carry your cell phones, keyed in to the
APD Center Station 458 5660, when
you are out and about walking your
pets, jogging or driving. Key in the
Anti-Terror Hotline number too.

Keep the above number, and NYS Anti-
Terror Hotline number :
1 866 SAFE NYS (723 3697) next to your
land line home phones.

We have been warned to expect Al Qaida
attacks on the Home Front. They have
already occurred and more are in the
works.

What are potential targets in our hood?
Think, hospitals, schools, gas stations
power lines, natural gas line, water and
sewer infrastructure, churches, synagogues
and more.

Al Qaida, and related groups, attack at
symbolic times and places. Think Passover
and Easter.

We have to crack down on domestic street
thugs, drug dealers and violent predators
because they are the natural allies of the
foreign terrorists, who are sworn to destroy
us, our way of life and America.

Here is the latest alert fom the APD:
