Constable Activity Report – July:
Below is a run down of last month’s Activity Report from the Constable Patrol. Each time the deputy on patrol is called out or observes some activity of interest, he/she documents the call and the report is compiled at the end of the month. It’s a nice way to see what our deputies are up to!

Crime Alert – Porch Thief Caught in Action!

WHAT:  Stolen Packages from Front Porch

WHERE:  Mandell Place

A thief was caught on video stealing a package from a neighbor’s front porch in Mandell Place. An unidentified male can be clearly seen walking very casually onto the front porch where 2 packages had been delivered. He chooses the smaller one and walks away. This crime occurred in the middle of the day, around 4:20 p.m., while the resident was not home. Close up shots of the thief were delivered to the Constable the next day. The Captain of the Patrol Division tells us it has been circulated to all Montrose area deputies. If anyone else has similar surveillance video of this crime or any others, please forward to info@mwpatrol.org and we will make sure the Constable gets a copy.

Please keep your eyes open and don’t hesitate to report any suspicious activity.  It’s our best defense against this type of crime!
