And what is the most common crime in Providence Arbours?
Car/Vehicle break-ins!
The Charlotte Observer published a story today on a pilot program that CMPD is testing in 4 divisions to cut down on car break-ins. The South division (which covers Providence Arbours) is not included at this time.
Just last week, WSOC-TV featured a story on 2 nights of car break-ins in the Raintree community (located just north of Providence Arbours on Providence Road). Today’s Charlotte Observer quotes one of the victims from Raintree. Read the full story at http://www.charlotteobserver.com/local/story/853515.html.
