Dear Neighbors,

Over the last seven days there has been a big increase in crime in Jamaica Plain. We need to do some organizing!

Specially, last night there were 5 incidents on and near Boylston Street.

At 6:10 and 6:36 pm on Boylston and Amory and then on Center and Forbes street two our neighbors were robbed. The suspects were described as two slim White Hispanic males in their late teen, one was wearing a red hat and grey hoody and the other had curly hair and freckles.

At 11:15, 11:20, and 11:25, three neighbors were robbed a gunpoint at the intersections Boylton and Chestnut (2), Boylston and Adelaide. The suspects are described as a black female and males in their 20's.

It's imperative to report suspicious activity calling 911 and immediate after something happens to you - even it you get away as criminals will wait for the next person to come along!

To find out what crime has been committed on your street, Please join your neighborhoods groups now and then start organizing to inform your neighbors about what happening and what you can do!

I've spoke with Captain Greland and Sgt. Krause they are going to increase patrols and asked that we:

1) Immediately call 911 to report suspicious and criminal behavior
2) Be aware of our surroundings, do not listen to music while you walk, and walk with or near groups of people.
3) Sit on our porches and keep an eye out for each other.
4) Go for walks together to create a presence in the streets and call 911 if we see suspicious activity.
5) Knock on our neighbors doors, introduce ourselves, and tell them there has been a spike in crime, and invite them to join this network.

Here is summary of crimes in the last seven days that I manually extratect from the crime reports tool in the neighborhood groups.
