On October 30th, Dearborn Police officers observed a group of individuals attempt to break into an east Dearborn residence. While police were watching the suspects, a vigilant citizen had also been watching the suspects and contacted police letting them know they had broken into another residence on Williamson Street just prior to police spotting the group. All four perpetrators were arrested without incident and, through further investigative efforts, were linked to several other crimes in the area.
Days later, an alert citizen observed four young males breaking into a vacant house. The citizen quickly called 911 and officers responded. After a brief foot chase, three of the perpetrators were apprehended. The fourth suspect’s identity is known and police are actively seeking his apprehension. These arrests come on the heels of another group of suspects being arrested last week for also breaking into homes. Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad credits the partnership between citizens and his police department for the success in identifying and apprehending these perpetrators.
Chief Haddad said, “The citizens of Dearborn are my department’s greatest asset in performing our law enforcement mission”. The Chief encourages all citizens to take ownership in their neighborhoods, be vigilant watching out for each other, and immediately contact the police in any suspicious circumstance.

It is wonderful to know that neighbors still care. One of the benefits of living in a neighborhood with kids playing outside and people sitting on porches is that they have a better handle on what is happening on their street. Good neighbors make good neighborhoods.
I agree Cloe! Socialize! Have block parties! KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS. Community is crime's worst enemy!
