Keeping a sharp eye out








A rash of residential burglaries in the Capital Region in recent months prompts a suggestion from Ed Reilly to keep an eye out for unfamiliar vehicles driving through the Terrace -- cars that may be occupied by persons checking out the neighborhood for nefarious purposes.

"I've noticed a couple of cars I've never seen driving slowly around the neighborhood," says Ed, "so I mentioned it to Bill Wade. He said the key thing is to get the license plate numbers. Just having a description of the car isn't enough."

Bill Wade, for those newer Terrace residents who don't know him, is a former City of Troy police officer.

The non-emergency phone number for the Troy Police Department is 270-4411. The emergency number is, of course, 911.
