Attached is the Gahanna Police Department OCTOBER 2012 Report. If you have questions on this contact them directly at 342-4240.
As you can see, we’ve been hit in our neighborhood by household break-ins during the day(!?). Any thoughts/suggestions on how to prevent these invasions would be appreciated. I have asked GPD Chief Murphy to increase patrols in the area and he’s agreed. Keep in mind if you see something unusual, don’t be afraid to call the GPD at 342-4240. You can make the call anonymous if you want. We need to help and look out for each other. If you have questions, please let me know!
ALSO, I got the following comment from a recent victim of a break-in: “The officer who came to my house after the robbery stated residents need to respond to someone knocking on your door, even if you scream “go away” to let them know you are home. I know in the past I ignored all knocks at my door but will now be yelling ‘go away’…..”
Holiday Schedules and Gahanna Info
For those interested, a lot of valuable info is available on the City of Gahanna website http://www.gahanna.gov/
Next week is Halloween (October 31 from 6-8), please be careful and watch out for little ones.
FYI, the City of Gahanna does NOT pick up loose piles of leaves left curbside or in the street. All yard waste should be paper bagged and Rumpke Waste will pick up on the Monday pickup.
Thanks to those who have helped maintain the entrances to our neighborhood. We plan to have a Fall Clean-up done soon.
