Sorry, I'm a day late.
Disclaimer: Please note these maps are meant to show which direction crime is trending, areas to keep an extra eye on and places to remain vigilant in order for Central Long Beach residents to remain safe. That said, previous trends don't guarantee future trends will repeat in the same direction and patterns. Also, an absence of crime in one area, does not guarantee an absence in that same area later on. as well.
The first thing you should notice is there is a trend of car thefts east of Rotary Centennial Park and Orizaba Park. From each park, the thefts trend along Old Zaferia Way, west and towards the center. If this pattern continues, this map will look very similar next week, except the car thefts will be on the west side of Old Zaferia Way. Please reread how to protect yourself from car thefts, if you live in that affected area. This trend was predicted last week.
Finally, there is a trend of thefts and robberies that lead along the Northern end of MacArthur Park and trend South East towards the AOC7 and Mahanna. Always keep your eyes open along the south end of MacArthur Park as it is consistently a problem area. Also notice there is a trend of assaults that starts at the alleyway just north of Anaheim Street and Walnut then trends South West. Because there is a tremendous amount of loitering at that plaza south of that alley, please keep your eyes open in that area and be safe.
The following major incident took place well outside our borders, but everyone should be aware of it. Long Beach police are investigating a nonfatal shooting in Willmore City and stabbing in Downtown Long Beach that occurred last Friday. Police think the shooting and stabbing might be related. The shooting was at the 1000 block of Virginia Court; the stabbing was at the 1000 block of Pine. Both of these addresses are about at tenth street and less than a third of a mile from each other.
Read the Press Telegram write up here.
Also don't forget. we're trying to identify this person of interest in a June homicide of Iran Maese.
I have posted many comments mainly to those of you that write for the many different news papers bags etc. Yet not one of you have approved one. of my comments with regards to being called out on your lack of being accountable for their repeated errors with regards to the man murdered June 28 whom you repeatedlly refer to as the homeless man Iran Maese who told you he was and despite I've told you this is not true you are writing incorrect articles don't you care that the incorrect information you are printing is hurting everyone who loved Iran. He was not homeless he lived very comfortably with me between two homes one in Palms Springs one in the south bay. Let's see if you acknowledge your mistakes or do the right thing and correct your hurtful and painful remarks you printed that has caused the family unnecessary grief. Do you think you can do this small request to show the Maese family that you do care for there sons memories by letting it be known he was not homeless. Or show you don't care what your story says to others be it true or false or will you just not print my comment at all the easy way to avoid the situation you cause period.
ReplyDeleteI have corrected all references to Israel being homeless which did come from the Press Telegram and the Homicide Report's initial coverage. I cannot control what the Press Telegram, the LB Post, the Homicide Report, the LA Times or My La.Com, as I do not write for them. I simply compile the information and try to collect it here so my neighbors know what's happening in Central Long Beach. Each news source has a different author. and the error is very likely traces the same source when the story first broke. I do monitor the comments, not to prevent angry replies, but to prevent spam, crazy people and gang relational through the comments. And I approved your comment as soon as I saw it. The intent of the page is to protect this neighborhood, prevent names from becoming statistics and hopefully keep pressure on those who do these unspeakable things not to further hurt anyone or their family. My apologies for the incorrect information, let me know if I have anything else incorrect and it will be fixed ASAP.
DeleteThank you sincerely from my heart.Just to know you took the time out of your busy schedule will mean more to his family and myself than words could ever express. Your integrity will not go unnoticed.when every other reporter did not so much as acknowledge my comments repeatedly despite I was trying to give them the true and correct facts, they did nothing. It began with the chief coroners report because Iran had no ID on him. This could happen to anyone of us. We all forget are wallets on occasion. But as I stated in wanting to keep the info accurate he was not legally here as he was brought to America at the age of 3 and did not know for sure of this until his late teens. His paper work was in the process of being taken care of. And while I am truly grateful for your help his name was Iran and not Israel. Thank you again sincerely Skip MacTaggart
DeleteYou're welcome, I will correct any mistakes as soon as I know, this is to keep the community safe and meant to show respect to the families of violent crimes, not take it away from them. If there's anything else I need to change just let me know.
