A sobering note from a Point Breeze resident:

Just a word of caution; I was robbed at gunpoint on Friday afternoon at 3pm, on Selwyn Street, by my car. They were after cash and they got some. Theywere on foot. (A fellow was robbed the same way last Tuesday on Hastings, the 200 block.) I had just unloaded the groceries, went out to lock the car and they came up behind me. About 18 to 20, one was black and slim, had a hood, a large silver revolver. The other was brown, had a mustache, a knitted hat, and a brown jacket with some leather, two toned, probably a sports team. Anyhow, I could identify them if they catch them.

We love our neighborhood and a couple bad actors can cause considerable havoc for a short time. Confident they will be caught. But right now, they seem to be roaming the East End in daylight looking for people who are by themselves.

I wasn’t afraid but was rather ticked off. Hope the police patrol the East End a little more aggressively for a while. No need to reply. Just be wary of strangers if you’re walking.
Report anything you think strange. Thanks.

You can pass the word on to your neighbors.
