As posted yesterday, several residents reported vehicle break-ins (including smashed windows to gain entry into locked vehicles) during the late evening hours of Friday, November 28 and/or early morning hours of Saturday, November 29.
In addition to the 3 known incidents as communicated yesterday, a 4th resident has reported an incident during this same time. The resident, who lives on Carlesbrooke Terrace, discovered a broken rear window in his locked vehicle. A small, orange backpack was reported stolen from the vehicle.
As previously communicated, CMPD and your Neighborhood Watch encourages all residents of Providence Arbours and neighboring communities to practice a “healthy sense of caution” to do our part in managing crime in the community.
While Providence Arbours is a safe community, over the past 2 years we have documented a pattern of vehicle break-ins every few months. By leaving valuables in our vehicles, we encourage criminals to return, time and time again, to our neighborhood.
Practice a healthy sense of caution by removing valuables from your vehicle each and every night. During the holiday season, encourage your overnight guests to do the same.

Officer J.D. Russell, who serves as CMPD’s Community Coordinator for Providence Arbours, has provided the following Safety Message and Holiday Safety Tips.
With the beginning of the holiday season, the response area has seen in the past an increase in the crime of Larceny from Auto (vehicle break-ins) and Home Burglaries. These types of property crimes can be prevented if we all take some simple measures.
We are asking you to take the following preventive steps whether you’re out shopping, at home or away on vacation. Please consider the following to help prevent you from becoming a victim:

A Time For Giving
“Pack the Sleigh”
Neighborhood Open House
Sunday, December 7th
5:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m
At the home of: Mark and Salome Vance / 4313 Esherwood Lane
Each year, the Providence Arbours neighborhood comes together to support a charity during the holiday season. As in past years, the community has chosen to support the Thompson Child and Family Focus Home (formerly Thompson Children’s Home) located in nearby Matthews.
Everyone in the neighborhood (and their family) is invited to drop by Mark and Salome Vance’s home to enjoy light food and refreshments and bring their gift for our special kids and families at Thompson Child and Family Focus Home.
“Pack the Sleigh” is an annual charitable event where the Providence Arbours community sponsors children (and helps to subsidize their needs for the upcoming year) from Thompson Child and Family Focus Home. This non-profit agency helps children who have been abused, neglected or who have disabilities. Originally started as an orphanage in 1886, Thompson’s has grown into a full family treatment/crisis center, as well as a facility for continuous care and housing for at-risk children.
This year, Thompson’s has kindly asked us to help with their “wish list” for four of their families and children. We wish to encourage all neighbors to participate in this wonderful event. All the Thompson families and their children have been sponsored at this time. If you’d like to help but aren’t sure how, a gift certificate of any amount from anywhere would be greatly appreciated. Usually Wal-Mart or Target gift cards are best and most compatible with their needs.
Please make plans now to bring your family and visit with Santa and your fellow friends and neighbors on Sunday, December 7th. Hope to see you there!
