Mr. Erickson,

Thank you for the follow-up questions reference the incident Mr.
Yokanovich describes.

The Roseville Police Department is very interested in incidents that
appear suspicious in nature.

I would also encourage neighborhoods to "spread the word" when they
see or hear anything that appears out of the ordinary. If your block
has a Neighborhood Watch Group, individuals should report the
activity to the police department first and then to their NWG block
captain.  For more information on Neighborhood Watch Groups, please
contact Community Relations Coordinator Heather Darby at 651-792-7209.

The PD does keep track of incidents of this nature and many times the
gathered pieces of information add up to an eventual arrest.

The Police Department wants to be notified on any situation that
seems out of the ordinary.  We want to provide our citizens with a
proactive rather than a reactive approach to crime.

So even if in doubt.........please call us.  Call either 911
emergency if the situation is "in progress" or call the non-emergency
number at 651-484-1700 if there is lag time between incident and
discovery.   We would much rather investigate the situation at hand
when the incident is still fresh (in both evidence and recollections
by witnesses) then get the information at a later time.

Chief Carol Sletner
