I was saddened when I read this article from our local news station WBAY. I lived on the Southwest Side of Green Bay for the last four years and loved being apart of the
West Side Green Bay Community. Residents are starting to prepare their homes by blocking up garage service doors and adding extra precautions. The one thing I know about the West Side of Green Bay is that they will band together, protect their neighborhoods and rid their local community from these sad problems. It’s time to spread the word to your friends and neighbors and get back to our Neighborhood Watch Programs which have helped take care of these problems in the past.
Green Bay police are investigating dozens of burglaries on the city’s far west side — 28 in the past four days.
They’re happening in an area west of Highway 41 near the Green Bay-Ashwaubenon border. Some happened near Hazelwood Lane and Packerland Drive, others just to the west of Packerland, and there were a few off Oakwood Drive.
Investigators say they stole items generally found in vehicles like electronics, CDs, and other small items that can be easily carried.
Police believe the burglar or burglars are busting locks, breaking in through the service door of the garage, and now neighbors are boarding up their properties to keep would-be thieves out.
“We’re seeing a lot of them that are right next door to each other. They must go right down the block,” Lieutenant Bill Bongle, Green Bay Police Department, said.
These neighborhoods are known for being nice, well kept, and crime-free. But since Tuesday, all residents can talk about are the dozens of burglaries.
