5/24/2022 BURGLARY REPORTED AT MRCV UNIT ON MAPLE CREEK COURT Dear Co-owners: Regrettably, we had a break-in/burglary at a unit on Maple Creek Court sometime Friday afternoon, May 20. An entry door was breached and some valuables were reported missing. Because this is a case under investigation, other details aren’t being released. MRCV Board President John Smyntek spoke with Rochester Police Chief Steven J. Schettenhelm on Monday to request an uptick in daytime patrols, which he said would occur. As many in the community know, this is the second break-in in eight months. The chief pointed out that only four such break-ins were recorded in the entire city of Rochester in 2021 which doesn’t constitute “a crime wave.” Things in common? First-floor incursions, during the day when the occupant is away and targeting cash and jewelry that can be pawned. We urge co-owners to consider taking the following actions if/whenever possible: 1) Lock your entry doors at all times. That includes your garage-entry door and doorwalls at the rear of the unit. Do not treat the garage door remote as an impregnable security device. Remotes can be cloned by tech-savvy criminals to open your door without permission. 2) Turn on your alarm system if you have one. Turn it on even if you are home. If you have motion sensors, you can program the alarm unit to bypass the motion sensors when you are home to avoid false alarms. It will alert you to intruders if you are not on the first floor. 3) Consider adding a video doorbell and/or surveillance camera that follow MRC Policy 038 as amended on Dec. 17, 2021. Download from the policy section at mapleridgecreekvillage.com. A modification request is required. Police say burglars tend to avoid targets that have these. 4) See something? Say something. See someone on the street you don’t recognize? Or a car parked that doesn’t seem to have business in the neighborhood? Write down the license number and call the Rochester Police. Do the same if you see people walking where they shouldn’t be (especially behind units.) The police will respond. Units along Washington Road and those that back up to Ford Woods are especially vulnerable to rear entry access. A reminder that Adam Oaks trims the grass on Mondays and Tuesday; all AO workers wear identifying T-shirts. The same for our other vendors: lawn fertilizer, sprinkler maintenance and tree maintenance being the most common. Telecommunication providers are also regular visitors and can be asked for appropriate IDs. 5) Treat door-to-door sales people with caution. If they don’t have a City of Rochester solicitation permit, turn them away and call the police and report the violation. Chief Schettenhelm said they’d rather investigate in advance than try to track down a scam artist afterwards. 6) Be aware of noise, especially in the daytime. Breaking into a unit is usually not a silent crime and if you hear something that sounds like force of some sort, consider notifying the authorities who promise they’ll respond. 7) Consider storing valuables in places other than the first floor. Because these burglars by-and-large want to make a quick grab and run, they don’t want to enter basements or second floors because that takes too much time and they could be trapped if the occupant returns. We will keep you informed as developments warrant. (SIGNED) THE MAPLE RIDGE CREEK BOARD OF DIRECTORS
