Crime alert: Barfield.

From a recent email:

My parents were robbed at gun point on my front porch in the 4600 block of Barfield. There were two BM and possibly another in a large white older type car (old Lincoln, Cadillac?). My parents noticed the car pass them as they parked curbside in front of my house and it was heading towards Avon. As my parents were about to unlock the door, the robbers jumped out of the shrubs attacked/robbed them. It was horrible. They beat my dad with a pistol, took his wallet and mom's purse, then ran towards Perkins. Probably their ride was waiting for them. Thankfully, they didn't shoot him and my four children never woke up or witnessed this.

The police & ambulance response was fast. The police officer said to call and report whenever anyone suspicious is in the neighborhood. They said if they don't look like they should be here, then they probably shouldn't.

Marci's note:
A lot of the crime reports we get are outside of Normandy Meadows. Still, please take precautions whenever you can. Report suspicious people and vehicles to 545-COPS. Keep your doors locked at all times, and install security doors at all entrances. If it appears someone is following you to your house, don't stop. Keep going and call 545-COPS. Keep outdoor lights on at night or install motion detectors. Don't keep valuables in your car. Don't hide keys to your house under the mat or in other obvious places. Be smart and protect yourselves!
