Beware of certain Scams

It has been brought to our attention here at the Wilmington Police Department there are certain individuals going around door to door trying to sell ADT alarms. We have issued a couple of permits for people to sell ADT alarms but as always becareful who you allow in your home. If they are soliciting then they will have a permit. With that said if you do not feel comfortable answering the door then don't, but do call 9-1-1 or the non-emergency number at 910.452.6120 to report this activity. We would like to know that they are legitimate then respond later to a crime in progress...

Welcome to the Lake Ave., Spirea Dr. and 41st Street Blog

Good evening, and welcome to a Community Crime Prevention & Watch blog created to keep us informed about our community and to notify one another of any activity and happenings in order to help keep us safe, and help to deter criminal activity.

This blog will include only those who have given their permission to be part of the discussions and notifications about possible suspicious or criminal activity in our neighborhood. For your security and for safety reasons, please limit your postings to concerns only about the topic, and not share personal or private information.

We are sharing our blog with Lieutenant Hinson, and also Officer Williamson, who are with the Wilmington Police Department:

Welcome Lt. Hinson and Officer Williamson!

With your help and information, we can plan to work together in order to create a safer neighborhood and help facilitate the work of the police officers who patrol our area. We have all agreed that with crime on the rise, it does take a "Village" or a "Neighborhood" to bond together and support this important effort.

Much appreciation to everyone who is taking their time to build a safer community.
