<p>Sgt. Krause, thank you so much for this update and these great tips. If you posted previously about these incidents, I apologize for not having seen your post, but I just took over to help administer the site in Joseph's stead. If there's anything I can do as moderator to help spread the word about safety and the neighborhoods, please don't hesitate to give me a holler.</p>

<p>There were two robberies recently in the area of Boynton St, McBride St and the Southwest Corridor. One at about 8:40pm on 10/12/11 and the other at about 11:30pm on 10/13/11. The victims were robbed at knife point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have not had a problem with robberies in the area in quite a while. Many officers responded and searched for the suspects in both incidents, to no avail. Some tips:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Stay alert and don't be distracted by electronics, headphones,…</li>

<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Stay alert and don't be distracted by electronics, headphones, etc...</li>
<li>Keep to well lit areas</li>
<li>Walk in groups whenever possible</li>
<li>If you think you are being followed, walk to the closest store, public building, or residence with lights on and ask for help</li>
<li>Common ruse used by robbers is to ask for the time. Many people us their phone for the time, exactly what a would be robber is looking for</li>
<li>Some smart phones have the capability of being located when missing or stolen. Check with your phone carrier about this service</li>
<li>Call 911 to report suspicious behavior</li>
<li>Don’t risk your personal safety in a robbery, turn over your property and call 911 when it is safe to do so</li>
</ul>
