Near North Side(Short North, Weinland Park)

I work for the Columbus Police Dept and have been keeping an eye on the crime reports for our neighborhood. There have been several burglaries and thefts recently. Please make sure you keep your garage doors closed and outside lights on to deter potential theives. It is also a good idea to keep your eyes open (look in between houses) while you are driving/walking through the neighborhood. If you see anyone or anything suspicious, call the police ASAP (645-4545 or 911)...do not confront the individuals.
