During the week of August 9, 1998, Team B reported the following problems.
The drug dealer at the Shirley Manor moved out on August 21. See the August MAD LUV page for some history on how we got to this wonderful result.
- Wednesday night, we had six white teenagers (of the older type, perhaps 14-17) in the street on Monticello. We kept turning our patrol in their direction and saw them at 13 Acres (aka Lynwood Holton School), on Bellevue, and finally across Brook Rd., where they turned south on Seminary.
- On Thursday, 3 teenagers (2 white, 1 black) were hanging around in the street of the 1400 block of Avondale. They didn't look like anybody we knew, so we kept an eye on them. After we had been around the block several times and they still were there, we called the police, who responded and dispersed the kids. Team A also had several reports of kids on bikes. The yellow light makes them nervous. The Team A patrols followed the groups until they left the neighborhood.
- The green house at 3802 Brook Road (in the angle between Brook and Fauquier) keeps drawing a crowd of nice, new cars. It makes us think the folks there are real party animals, or they are selling something we wouldn't want sold in Bellevue. Holly Anna says they let her use their hose to water her spectacular garden in the median, and that they seem like nice kids. The visitors' cars now are parking out on Brook, rather than on Fauquier. Team A has been recording the license numbers of the vehicles parked there, just in case.
- On Wednesday, we had five car breakins, apparently for the property in the cars: One on Nottoway, 2 on Amherst, 2 on Stanhope. The one on Nottoway was a state car; the state police came and fingerprinted it. We hear from the Neighborhood Watch that the other four had not been called in to the police as of Thursday morning(!).
- See the Team A News for a report of the good results Team A has had working with the City Neighborhood Preservation folks to deal with sofas, trash, and uncontrolled bushes in alleys.
