St. Cloud Police: Attempted
Carjacking
On 12/22/05 at approximately 2208 hours officers from the St. Cloud Police
Department were dispatched to an attempted carjacking at Washington
Memorial Dive and University Drive South.
An adult female, from St. Augusta, was returning home when her vehicle was
approached by three males. Two of the males walked past the driver side of
her vehicle while the third male described as a light complected black
male in his mid-twenties, approximately six foot, 160-170 pounds, wearing
8 white long sleeve thermal type shirt and black baggy pants, approached
her passenger window and ordered her to unlock her door. When the adult
female refused, the black male attempted to strike the passenger window
with the butt end of a brown handled handgun.
The adult female victim drove away and watched as all three males were
attempting to possibly carjack the vehicle directly behind her.
Holiday Tips:
1. Don’t advertise gifts received by tossing the empty boxes outside. If
you might need the box for any future return or replacement, cut the tape
and fold the box for storage.
2. If you don’t need the box, cut it up into recycling size and bundle the
pieces in such a way that no one can read the labels.
3. Be very aware of what is going on in your neighborhood. Last year at
this time, a resident on the north end spotted some young men walking the
alleys and flagging some property with pieces of cloth. It was learned
later that some of these residences had received deliveries from
Electronic Stores.
4. If everyone in your family is going to attend church services together,
make arrangements for someone in your neighborhood to watch your
property. Then return the favor when they go to church.
5. Several years ago there was a series of residential burglaries around
Mayhew Lake in Benton County. A sick resident, who didn’t go to church,
spotted the activity and notified authorities.
6. Keep your doors and windows locked. How many times do we see reports
that the burglar gained entry through an un-locked door or window?
