More Car Break-Ins in Kensington

Our eagle-eyed neighbor over in Kensington, Tommy Taylor, has shared this update -




Last night (Thursday, 1/31) we had up to 8 vehicles broken into in the 100 and 200 blocks of Andover.  At this time I don’t have details on the events but wanted to get this warning out to you right away so you can take precautions.
Once again let me say, don’t leave anything in your vehicles, even loose change on the console.  Park in lighted areas, look out your windows from time to time and always report any suspicious activity to 911.
If your car was gone through please make a police report, regardless whether anything was taken or not!  It’s so important that the police, and we neighbors, have an accurate picture of what is going on.

Please let me know if you were a victim or if you noticed anything suspicious last night.

Get CERTified in October!


Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) are about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires; treat the three killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; search for and rescue victims safely; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective during an emergency.

Do you think you have what it takes? 

Do you want to learn ways to protect you and your family during a disaster?

If so, plan now to attend the next CERT training scheduled for October.  Training is free to Chatham County residents and requires both classroom instruction and hands on fieldwork. 
You must attend all days!

Time and location of next training:
October 20 - 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
October 21 - 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
