Stay Alert!

   There has been a series of muggings locally in the Oak Park area.  The mugger is unidentified and is still at large. They only strike late at night, and prey on unsuspecting women.  You can stay safe if you follow these safety tips:

·     Don’t go out after dark

·     Walk with friends, or in a group. If you can’t find anyone to walk with, you can request a police escort.

·     Make sure you always lock the doors at night

Try to be aware of your surroundings (i.e. don’t text or read while walking)

Remember, always be safe. Good luck!
