PRESS RELEASE --- "Peeping Tom" Story
04/12/2013
SWEENY --- On Sunday, April 7, 2013, at approximately 10:20
p.m., the Sweeny Police Department received a prowler call
in the 500 block of Avenue A. The caller allegedly
witnessed a man walking on the neighbor's property and the
police were called. Upon arrival, the officer checked the
property but was unable to locate anyone either on the
property or in the immediate area. Upon checking with the
homeowner, it was determined that no signs of forced entry
were detected or observed. The officer stayed in the area
checking the neighborhood but was unable to locate anyone.
At present, this
remains an isolated incident.
Although the police department receives numerous calls of
prowlers each week throughout the city, no other calls have
been received by the police regarding prowlers in this area.
The police department hopes residents use common sense and
sound judgment when hearing unsubstantiated and sensational
stories on social media sites (Facebook, Twitter,
Instragram) without first verifying the validity of such
with the police department or local officials. While police
officials value citizen input, community outreach, and
social awareness, they urge residents to also be responsible
and conscientious about the content of their messages and
the unnecessary fear and panic it can cause in a community.
Since the call was received on April 7, the area has been on
close patrol; no other suspicious person calls have been
received and no unusual activity has been observed by police
or reported by local residents.
The police department urges residents to always be aware of
their surroundings and to call the police if they observe
unusual or suspicious activity.
If you have information regarding this incident or any other
incident, please call the police department at 979-548-3111
or report tips anonymously at
tips@sweenypolice.org.
