Police say increased patrols in Buena Park near the lakefront
have led to a drop in burglaries and car break-ins.
Speaking at the monthly community policing meetings for beats 2323
and 2324 last night, officers said patrols between Addison and
Montrose near North Marine Drive had significantly decreased those
types of crimes, though not to their all-time lows.
Officers are also asking residents to be on the alert for purse
snatchers.
Shortly before last night's meeting, robbers stole a woman's purse
near Wilson Avenue. Police said they've seen an increase in such
crimes in the area, primarily in the dusk and evening hours. The
assailants, who often work in teams, have been targeting both men
and women.
The next CAPS meeting for beats 2323 and 2324 is March
19th.
