River Plaza Crime Spree

Dear Middletown Mike,

I wanted to let you know about a little crime spree that happened last night and early this morning In River Plaza.

Last night at 3:30 am a resident surprised a burglar in his house at 49 Hubbard Ave. He scared the intruder off and called the police.
Then a house 4 doors down the street was visited and stuff was stolen on the back porch. The burglar then went to our neighbors at 9 Hubbard Ave. The car and house keys were stolen and the back door on the porch was propped open.

Finally the burglar arrived at our house at 386 West Front Street. He pushed his way into our house through an air conditioner and stole money from my purse and car keys that were on the counter in the kitchen. He then went back through the window and drove off with one of our cars. Our neighbors heard the car alarm go off at 5:45am, which was quickly silenced.

My hats are off to the Middletown Police who arrived promptly when called, and the detective arrived shortly thereafter. They handled everything very professionally. My concern is for our neighbors and neighborhood. They should be alerted so they can take their own precautions. I wish the no one in our neighborhood should have to go through the experience we have.

Sincerely

,
