Madison Park

We still have activity in our area in a different form.   I was alerted that there was a car broken into on Cooper last night.  It is not showing yet on the crime map yet.

However there were several incidents on the North Side of E. Woodlawn.   Not in our foot print, but near enough we need to keep our eyes open.
