[Chat] Community Council of the Northern District

[John Spurrier]

Thanks, Linda. I saw all of the police activity this morning as I left for work.
Brendan Coyne alerted me to the circumstances via email. Coincidentally onSaturday he and I attended a meeting of residents living in and around the 2600 and 2700 blocks of Guilford Ave related to armed robberies, burglaries, drug dealing, gang activity and unruly juveniles. In my opinion so many of
these crimes are symptoms of the high level of drug addiction in Baltimore.
 
I'm glad that your coworker was unharmed. It sounds like she handled her
self exceptionally well given the situation.
 
In the next few weeks the CVCA and residents will be meeting with membersof Northern District to discuss practical solutions to deterring crime.
