SAN ANTONIO- Fed up with vehicle vandals, one neighborhood is working together to cut down on crime. Neighbors in the Eastwood Village area on the east side say they've noticed an increase in the number of car break-ins and thefts. At their neighborhood association meeting Thursday night, neighbors learned crime tips from San Antonio Police.
SAPD reports the area was hit with 13 vehicle thefts and 10 vehicle burglaries in 2011. Thursday night, police emphasized hiding valuables, locking car doors and parking in the garage.
The group is working on getting Neighborhood Watch signs installed in the area and members are helping establish associations in other areas, so they can share crime-fighting tips.
