A good while ago, I called 911 after seeing a suspicious couple
asking to see my BGE bill. After I had said I was not interested,
they had stayed on my front porch for quite a while. That is what
made me suspicious. Since I have a security door that can only be
opened with a key, I felt safe opening the inner door when they
first rang. When I called 911, I did use my crime watch number.
The police came fairly quickly, but the couple were gone when they
came. I also spoke to a JHU security person parked across the
street (they are there regularly).<br>
<br>
Whenever I have asked, police have said that they would like
people to call 911 for suspicious persons. Such a call just may
help solve a crime or prevent one.<br>
<br>
Last Saturday, someone was going onto porches and checking to see
if doors were locked. Someone called 911, and someone else
followed the suspect until the suspect pulled a knife on him.
Fortunately, police came just then and made an arrest. So if you
think the situation is really suspicious, call. You may prevent a
tragedy.<br>

I didn't call the police. My neighbor did. I don't know how that
conversation went. I never saw the unit assigned to the call. I
flagged a police car driving by. I told him the above. He says
he didn't get the call but would pass on info to the officer who
was assigned to the call. By the time all this took place the
suspicious person was long gone.<br>

Suspicious Activity is cause for calling 911 so you did
the right thing. If you described the activity you
observed that should have been enough to get a squad car
out to question the suspect. And it is certainly enough
to put the police on the lookout for this individual. I
get quicker results when I call 911 by using my Northern
District Crime Watch number (for application see <a

<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.charlesvillage.org">www.charlesvillage.org</a>,
or ask me), and by using code words like, "Suspicious
person canvassing houses under false pretenses," etc. The
activity you described is what burglars do to determine
which houses have someone home and which do not.<br>
<br>
I am meeting with Deputy Major Worley at 1 PM today at the
monthly CVCBD SAC meeting and can have a discussion with
him about your experience. But he will ask me for details.<br>
<br>
Did the police arrive? Did they question the suspect? If
not, can you give me a description of the suspect? What
did the suspect do after he left your house? What block
of which street did it occur on? Please provide some
additional details, including your neighbor's name,
address, phone number, and your address and phone number
to provide to police who may want to speak to you before
trying to locate and question the suspect.<br>

neighbour called to tell me of a <br>
young man,knocking on doors, asking to see people's
BG&E bill. Talking <br>
about a 30% discount. He would need the account # to
call in for the <br>
discount. I tried to engage him in conversation while my
neighbour <br>
called the police.<br>
During the wait for police, I call BG&E. Took me
15minutes to talk to a <br>
voice. I got sneaky and pressed the gas leak choice in
the menu. I was <br>
told under no circumstances would a BG&E employee OR
any subcontractor <br>
come to a home requesting to see the bill.<br>
I realise no violent crime was in progress, but waiting
for the police <br>
was like waiting for Congress to agree on something.
This occurred in <br>
the Barclay, Vineyard neighbourhood.<br>
<br>
Be aware.<br>
