Behind the Tape…
By Sgt. Richie Dascall
Happy October everyone! Hope all of you are settling into football
season and getting ready for Halloween. Here I am writing this in
September and I can already see how much the island has slowed down
since Labor Day, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a very relaxed
winter season.
With the winter season setting in on us, we tend to get an influx of
people interested in committing property crimes. Luckily, while I was
trying to figure out what story I would write, one fell into my lap. It was
almost time to go home for the night in the middle of the week. As we
were all getting our end of day stuff together, we received a call for a
person in a house who didn’t belong there. We got down to the house and
found out the owner of this house, which is mostly unoccupied for the
better part of the year, came to check on some things and found this guy
in his house. We started looking around and found out that the guy and his
friends were homeless in Savannah and had come to the house trying
stay there without permission. They had not been there very long when
we arrived, but had already put food in the refrigerator, started taking
showers, and doing laundry. The guy we found there was ultimately
arrested for burglary. I’d like to say this is a new thing, but this is about
the third time we’ve dealt with squatters breaking into unoccupied houses
to live this year.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to lock your doors, both
house and car, and keep an eye on what’s happening around you in the
neighborhood. We’re already starting to see car break-ins and now houses
are starting to get targeted. If a house that should be empty has someone
in it, please let us know. This is a trend we don’t want to see continuing.
We’ll be doing our drug take back again on October 24th. It’s normally
at the YMCA but due to COVID we’ll be holding it at the police department
this year. So any unused medications you have around the house can be
turned in to be destroyed on that day from 10am to 2pm. I hope everyone
has a great month and we’ll see you all in November.
