The following information was sent via gov delivery from Captain Davis at the CMPD Independence Division:There was a first degree burglary on Garamond Ct. (Providence Commons Community) on April 1st at approximately 3:08 a.m. Fortunately, the occupants of the home were not injured but it was the second burglary at that residence in less than a month.
There have been a total of nine residential burglaries in a half mile radius of Garamond Ct since March 1st. Our burglary detectives are working diligently to solve those crimes and patrol activities have been increased.
Suspect information: Suspect #1: B/M, 20 years old, 5’11”, light skin, small build.
Suspect #2: Unknown description - Suspect vehicle: Gold 2000 Lexus RX300 SUV; New York license plate number – 734GTD (driven by suspect #2)
Unfortunately, there has been some misinformation regarding the police response time to Garamond Ct. The call was initially received at 3:08:45 a.m. Officers were dispatched at 3:09:51 and the first officer arrived at 3:20:26. Therefore, the first officer arrived in 10 minutes and 35 second after being dispatched. Our department endeavors to respond to emergency call within 10 minutes; however, sometimes circumstances prohibit us from doing so.
There will be a community meeting at Providence Day School on Saturday, April 19th at 8:30 a.m. to discuss crime and quality of life issues. I encourage all interested community members who reside in and around the communities of Bishop’s Ridge, Hampton Leas, Kellers Glen and Providence Commons to attend.
