We live on Washington Ave by Willoughby Ave. Last evening after 7pm (mind you still daytime) we noticed sitting in our living room a shadow on our firescape. My husband run outside to the backyard and saw two young men – on in the yard and one on fire escape. He started screaming for me to call police and the two men started to run away and jump the fences. Called 911, the cops where here in 2-3 minutes, 2 undercover cars and two cruisers (pretty fast response). My crazy husband run outside after the two man and saw them on Hall St, followed them quietly as he was on the cell with the cops. The ending – they got these guys on Washington and Lafayette. So two less to worry about. Anyway we have been living here for 12 years and never had a problem, specially attempting burglary from the back yard since it is very difficult to access. Just want to make you aware and keep your windows closed, they are definitely looking for opportunity, my tenants keep their windows open specially in the back. If you see suspicious activity in your neighbors yard or front of the house please stay alert and call 911. Better safe than sorry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
