 Crime Update!
Police Make Arrest In String Of Home Burglaries
Louisville Metro police arrested a man they believe is responsible for a string of burglaries in the Metro area. On Tuesday of this week, police arrested James Patrick McGregor, age 30.
Police said 16 homes were hit over the past three weeks, primarily in the Highview, Okolona and Fern Creek areas.
The only clue police had was the suspect may have been driving a black Volkswagen Jetta. McGregor is charged with four counts of burglary.
If you see crime occurring, please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department. Call 911 for emergencies only. Call 502-574-7111 for non-emergency related help or to find a towed vehicle. Call 574-LMPD to report crime tips.

TARC
offering special service to St. James Art Fair
$6 per carload covers parking and bus service
TARC is again offering public transportation from downtown Louisville to the St.
James Court Art Show Friday, Oct. 5 through Sunday, Oct. 7.
“As popular as St. James is, on a nice day finding a parking space
near the event area is a challenge,” said TARC Executive Director J. Barry
Barker. “We’re encouraging the public to go downtown and let us take them
there.”
TARC’s buses will leave PARC’s Brown Hotel garage on Third at Broadway every 15
minutes on Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. They will run every 10 minutes on
Saturday and Sunday, beginning at 9:30 a.m. until 6:10 p.m. on Saturday and
5:10 p.m. on Sunday.
The buses will deliver passengers to Second and Hill for a short
walk to the St. James Court Art Show. The cost is $6 per carload, which covers
parking and the bus service. Before boarding the bus, patrons will be issued a
pass that will guarantee them return service to the garage - and are urged to
hold onto those passes while at the fair.
Art show patrons can also ride the fare-free trolleys downtown. The
Fourth Street Trolley will connect visitors with the First Friday Trolley Hop
on Main and Market Streets, Fourth Street Live
and other downtown entertainment venues on Friday, Oct. 5.
Passengers
may also board buses to and from the art fair at any stop along the route,
including an additional stop at 2nd and Breckinridge and another at 2nd and Hill. The fare for passengers
boarding along the route is $1.75.
Routes #2, #4
and #27 serve stops near the festival area.
For
further information about the St. James bus service, call TARC Customer Service
at 585-1234, TTY 213-3240, or visit TARC’s website at www.ridetarc.org.

Crime Prevention Strategies
We need your help. In the past,
police officers responded to crimes after they had already been committed. Now
we want your help in preventing crimes before they occur. We need everyone in
our community to take an active role in learning how to stop a crime before it
happens. One way you can take an active role in solving and preventing crime is
by using the Metro Police’s tip line, 574-LMPD.
Preventing Thefts from Vehicles
The Louisville Metro Police
Department is experiencing a larger than normal number of car break-ins that
are unlocked and subsequent thefts from vehicles. This is an issue that plagues
our community with all too much frequency. There are several steps you can take
to prevent your vehicle from becoming a target of this type of crime. Always
remove valuables from your vehicle or lock them in your trunk. Valuables
include items like golf clubs, computers, purses, wallets, GPS, MP3 players,
cell phones and anything else of value that a criminal might be tempted to
smash your window out and then reach inside and take. Always park your vehicle
in well lit areas or leave your outside lights on to fully illuminate your
vehicle at night. Finally, always remember to remove your keys from the
ignition of your car and lock your car doors. Please follow these steps and
help LMPD stop crime and remember to call 574-LMPD (5673) to report a crime tip
or suspicious activity.
PLEASE
REMEMBER TO LOCK YOUR VEHICLE AND CONCEAL PERSONAL ITEMS!
