* News Star Police Blotter - The 'Crime is Down' Report

Back, by popular demand...
Toothless robber captured on security video

A man in his mid-30s described as missing some teeth, robbed a 62-year-old man in the foyer of his apartment building on the 6900 block of North Wayne. The victim told police that he had picked up a slice of pizza at a restaurant on the 1300 block of West Morse Avenue, when he noticed the man entering after him. The man followed the victim home back to his residence . As the victim entered his apartment and walked toward the elevator, the man followed him. The man grabbed the victim's coat and said, "Give me your money." He grabbed $100 from the victim's pocket along with a money order for $278. The man fled the building and ran eastbound on Morse. The victim returned to the pizza joint and called police. Police observed the man enter the restaurant on surveillance video, and recognized him from previous encounters. No arrest has been made. The restaurant manager could not make a copy of the video because he wasn't sure how to do it.

So will these reports count in regards to the 'crime tally'?

Or do they only count when an arrest is made?

One more report on the "Crime is Down" front. I'm very sad to report that Taste Food & Wine on Jarvis was broken into overnight. I walked by at 6:15am this morning, and the door glass was shattered.

A police car was parked outside, and the lights were on, so I hope the thieves did not get much.

Its disappointing every time that we get a good business in the neighborhood and inevitably they are baptized by the neighborhood in this manner.

Show your support for Taste and drop by soon. I'd like to see businesses like this stay in our community.

It's unfortunate that the authorities don't give out anymore information, you don't know to feel safe or not. Everything is confusing and leaves you unsure of the situation
