Props to Alert Neighbors but Heads Up if You Live in/near Kingman Park

Alleged burglars in alley behind Bennett place, ne

“Dear PoPville,

I was hoping you could share some information for the folks who live in the Carver Terrace and Kingman Park area. Several neighbors on Bennett Place have had their homes broken into in the past few weeks. There are 6 reported break-ins and attempted break-ins. The police have been notified, but up until this point have not been very helpful.

This past week, a friend received a call from his neighbor asking him to check on his house because the alarm was going off. My friend found the back door open and called the cops. Before the police arrived, my friend saw 2 burglars inside the house. He and another neighbor chased the guys out of the home. Unfortunately both intruders managed to escape: one of the burglars ran into a building nearby and had some of his buddies came out to block the neighbors giving chase.

Luckily, the folks on Bennett were able to get some photographs that they passed on to the police.”
