Robbery shows need for Neighborhood Watch

The Albuquerque Downtown Neighborhoods Association reported late yesterday that a home on the corner of Luna and Marquette was burglarized. According to the DNA, the robbers gained entry through the north side of the house. The DNA requests that neighbors be on the lookout for suspicious behavior in their area.

Members of the DNA are forming a Neighborhood Watch Program and asking community members to join as block captains. Those interested in lending a hand should contact bob@grayhairllc.com.
