We decided on a Saturday afternoon visibility patrol again with three vehicles. Seems this patrol is going to be popular. We are reaching more residents this way and culprits can see that we are in our area patrolling.
We cleaned out a couple areas where people were drinking in public. It seems that they did not know that it was illegal or they just pretend not knowing. In any event we, explained to them he problem that drinking in public can lead to. One big problem is fighting over liquor or that other elements wants to remove the alcohol from their possession.
We got a message from the CID group that perpetrators were in their yard and was removing roof plates from the premises. We responded and found them walking up 4th avenue with the plates above their heads. Upon stopping, them, they threw the plates down and ran across the park in 4th avenue. One of the patrol vehicles cornered them on the other side of the park, where they were walking as if nothing happened. Upon seeing us, they came begging and said they will return the plates, but as they walked past the car, they ran and we could not follow them over the field in plantation road.
