1. Crime Watch Alert: Armed Robbery 2100 block of Prince at 7:10 p.m. This Evening

 

Editor's Introductory Note:

This is a rare case of a second E-Newsletter in one day because I just received this report concerning an armed robbery on Prince Street this evening. The suspect at last report was still at large, so be careful and call the police immediately if you see someone matching the description below.

A couple of us are talking about holding an impromptu night-time safety "dog" walk (dogs optional, not required), so if you're around this weekend, watch your email for a follow-up E-News.

Please stay safe.

A single woman walking along the 2100 block of  Prince away from BART toward Chochmat Halev (Prince at Fulton) was robbed at gun point. The police are hunting for the suspect. A neighbor who witnessed the event provided this description of the assailant:

"I witnessed the armed robbery in front of my house (2131 Prince) this evening at approximately 7:10 p.m. The suspect is a young black male, age 16-18, 5'10"-5'11", dark complexion, twisty shoulde- length dreads and medium to slender build. He was wearing baggy camouflaged (green) cargo style pants and an drab olive overcoat that was canvas weave and baggy."

[Editor's Note: In the case of an emergency or urgent report, to reach the Berkeley Police Department call 911 from a landline or  981-5911 from a cell; the police nonemergency number is 981-5900. Do not hesitate to call  if you notice suspicious behavior; even if it's not an immediate emergency, the dispatcher will send someone by to check it out as soon as possible.]
