North Charlotte Neighborhood Working to Prevent Crime

A residential area in the northern part of Charlotte is beginning to build a neighborhood watch program to help prevent crime in the area. Unfortunately, this particular neighborhood has been the victim of many residential burglaries. In the last year, burglars hit 30 different homes in Thompson Glen. Something that I found to be a shock was that in the past 3 weeks there have been 9 more burglaries in the same neighborhood.

Some might argue that neighborhood watch programs are ineffective when local police are not patrolling. However, these programs are really the only option that communities have. Bill Carrick, a North Carolina homeowner, had a few words of his own to say about these programs.

"With more people watching, the more eyes you have in the neighborhood watching what's going on, the less problems you have", Carrick mentioned. Thompson Glen has already had their first community watch meeting and they plan on holding another one next month. As time passes, these residents can only hope for more and more neighbors to get involved.
