I received this automated warning on our answering machine Sunday...(Very effective and efficient!)
Automated call warns west BW residents
City residents who live near Brentwood's western border received automated phone notifications Sunday evening, informing them of police activity and safety concerns in the area. "Area residents be on the lookout for three burglary suspects last seen on Manley Lane around 4:30. All three fled on foot from scene. Described as one black male wearing red T-shirt, one Asian male with two diamond stud earrings, one white male. All are young and all are wearing shorts and tennis shoes. If you see strangers in your neighborhood call the Brentwood Police Department at 371-0160.
And now, an arrest has been made. I am just glad that this wasn't Professor Henry Louis Gates breaking into his summer Brentwood Home.
Surely President Obama will not call our Brentwood Police force "stupid" for warning its citizens of the at-large criminal suspects. and actually giving their racial desriptions, but who knows!
