| stinkweed you need to check your information. Where did that kid live that was doing those invasions? What was his record? I know where he went to school, and it was not a regular school. There is low-income and section 8 housing all over the place in Dover, and the numbers are growing way too fast. Dover can not support these areas so a ban must be put in place. Stop letting these slum lords in town make all the money!

Government subsidized housing and welfare are part of the Liberal Agenda. If
we continue to reward individuals who live irresponsibly, this country will suffer
the consequences. I am not a callous person, those who fall on hard times
need to be helped TEMPORARILY, that is the key here. Our tax dollars would be
better spent if we required those on welfare to be tested for drugs, if you have
drugs in your system, you lose your government benefits. We need to stop
rewarding single women who keep having children that they can not afford.
I would rather see my tax dollars spent on more drug busts and building more
prisons and financial counseling for the poor so that they can learn how to
manage and budget their money in a responsible manner.
One baby, two babies, three babies, Manicures, pedicures,
cell phones, hair weaves, extensions, eating out, driving SUV's....if you can afford
these things with YOUR money, fine, but not with my tax dollars, please!
If the voters of Delaware continue to vote for the Democrats, we will continue
to suffer the consequences. Wake Up People! Ruth Ann Minner has been a
total disaster as Governor and the people voted her into office TWICE!!!
Maybe we need to require voters to take an IQ test before voting!
Our new state slogan ( money wasted) should have been D is for DUMB!

my thought is that there are low income areas all over the city, and crime is happening everywhere. not all these crimes are happening on new street or in capitol park, and not all the perpetrators live in those areas. it's easy to pick out those areas and say "let's sweep the streets", but it isn't going to stop crime or criminals. and i also think that when cops hang out in areas like that, they waste time. so dover pd busted a guy for loitering(basically just standing on a street), then lock him up for a couple grams of weed. that was an easy target, it doesn't make the streets safer, and it's taking a bed in the d.o.c. that could be used to keep a violent offender in jail.
what i see is a lot of concern about areas where poor black people live, and while they may have their share of criminals, white neighborhoods have criminals in them too. they are just a hell of a lot less likely to be harrassed by the cops when the cops ride down the white neighborhood's streets.
here's the thing. if those folks in those low income neighborhoods are less likely to report crimes, let them suffer the consequences. but i don't want my police officers hanging around those neighborhoods looking for easy busts that are overflowing our prisons when the real criminals are tiptoeing through my neighborhood looking for the big heist.
there have also been some pretty nasty home invasions. and they didn't happen in any of the areas of concern. so again, i ask my police department to do more crime prevention and stop hanging around in neighborhoods where petty crime takes place and instead try to make my whole town safer.

nice to know you know right where to go to fill your crack pipe. are you an overly sensitive member of the dover pd? or just mad cause your crack hookup is under surveilance? also nice to know you believe everyone on new street is a criminal. you think just like a pig.
"Where do you think the crackheads get the money to buy it. Thats right genius they are the ones that are committing the burglaries, robberies and the thefts to support there habit. "
not on new street, "genius". as i said in my previous post, nobody on new street has anything to steal. that's why burglars go to nicer neighborhoods. and if dover pd spent time patrolling those neighborhoods, and preventing crime before it happens, they'd be doing what they get paid for. if a police vehicle had made it's presence known in the hamlet and bicentenial village, they would've seen school age children wandering places they shouldn't have been. again, the police dept can sit on new street and pick off easy targets of victimless crimes, but don't complain when the thieves in your neighborhood rob you blind because there are no patrols in your area.

| Actually Stinkweed, aka clueless, if you knew anything about New St you would know that it is a crack cocaine haven. Where do you think the crackheads get the money to buy it. Thats right genius they are the ones that are committing the burglaries, robberies and the thefts to support there habit. And there are large number of burglaries and other crimes in that area to support the presence of the police dept. Do you even think about what you type before hand?

| when times are tough, crime goes up. that's a given. perhaps if the dover pd quit busting people on new street for nickle bags of weed and actually spent thier time patrolling and trying to deter crime instead of picking off easy nonviolent targets they might get some work done. keep wasting taxpayer money and department time and resources hanging around new street... burglaries don't happen there because nobody has anything to steal.

I am looking in to that possibility , I am a victim of 2 of the robberies on the westsde as it is being called. All 4 of the ones who robbed me were adults all 4 are in Jail 3 waiting trial both crimes were drug related. all were in the system before.
I thank the Dover police for all of their efforts and support. But they need the community to help. So many of these crimes are seen and known about by others. And as long as people sit by until they get caught up in something.
You will soon find we are getting like Wilmington , Philly and other cities where the crime rates are out of hand

Peak is the high school version of Because We care, neither one of these schools should be allowed to take the government's or tax payers money .
The kids are sent there , as a last straw or when teachers and other school personnel are tired of dealing with them.
Many of the children have been diagnose with ADHD, Bi -polar and I for one think most of these kind diagnoses and solutions are bogus.
If these children were taught right and wrong at an earlier age a lot of these crimes would stop.
Parents have lost many rights due to the states involvement.
I have said it before spare the rod spoil the child.
Though I do believe child abuse does exist , our government has gone to the extremes in the wrong direction.
It looks as Peak drop the ball on not calling the child's parent, but because of the school that he had to attend the mother too had some responsibility to call to make sure he was there.
Making the excuse he was not taking his med , really isn't and excuse ( if this is a case not being properly medicated ) The age tells you he knows right from wrong.
Some how I see these kids laughing and joking the the whole time during their spree.
One parent trying to rectify just isn't enough. He knows who the others were , it's time to man up and do the right thing . If he thinks it's cool not to snitch and take the blame him-self ( giving him self respect in the thug world ) shows he has learned nothing.
I wonder how he would feel if he toke the blame and the with in weeks one of the others got shot for trying the same they were all doing.
I myself would having it eat at me the rest of my life , knowing had I snitched my friend my be alive....................

Peak 's responsibility is not informing the parent their child was not in school , And the parent may have some recourse with them .
But the child is responsible for his actions unless the teachers of the school were out there with him

Please take note that is was his mother who turned him in . It had to be hard for her but teaching him a valuable lesson in life , was paramount to her.
A mother's love some times seems harsh when you are a child , but in years to come most children understand .
The boy's Mother is number one in my book .

In reading the report I would have made the family post the 10,000 in cash equal to the amount stolen from the homes , in addion to the return of the fire arm that were reportedly stolen.
Adding on 5 day stay in a real jail before going before any judge ( with no contact with his family )

The one house alone has at least 20,000 in damage not to mention the residents /owner losing sense of safety in their home.
While this thug and maybe others that were with them as they went through their home.
The judge let him out to enjoy freedom until a state lawyer of whom we will pay for can claim how this poor child has dysfunctional home life and all he needs is counseling to deal with his anger issues. Ha ha ha
Now on the other hand is victims have to deal with their problems alone

I could not agree more, if you move here TAKE CARE of your children, know where they are, I do not want to take care of someone elses children, and I do not want them running up and down the streets acting like fools.

Same story different paper
Check http://www.doverpolice.org
They have caught the one they believe was involved , and guess what 15 years old !!!!!!!!! And he was let out to do it again and again .
He should have had to stay in jail for a week before letting him go before a judge
I don't see anything where the fire arms were recovered .
Time the state start looking closer to those poor little children who do nothing wrong.

What do you think?
From the Delaware State News: West Dover hit by rash of burglaries
Police step up patrols in neighborhoods
By Kate House Layton
Delaware State News
DOVER — Dover police have stepped up patrols in some west Dover neighborhoods after a rash of burglaries in the area.
Three of the burglaries occurred Wednesday in the Bicentennial Village neighborhood — 688 Independence Boulevard, 696 Independence Boulevard and 197 Continental Drive.
Another burglary, police said, could have occurred between April 23 and May 5 in the 700 block of Bicentennial Boulevard, in the Bicentennial neighborhood.
In each case, the burglars took household items. Two firearms also were taken from one of the homes.
Two more burglaries occurred Wednesday, at 14 Kent Circle in The Hamlet neighborhood and one at Clem’s Auto, 93 Saulsbury Road.
Again, household items were stolen from the Kent Circle home. A 1996 Mercedes-Benz was taken from Clem’s Auto.
In another burglary early Tuesday, money, cigarettes and cigars were taken from E&J Liquors, 828 Forest St.
"We don’t know for a fact that they’re all connected," said Dover Police Department spokesman Lt. James Hosfelt, although he said there have been more burglaries recently than at this time last year. "We’re investigating each burglary individually until we’re sure that they’re connected."
Police have theories about the break-ins and are looking into leads, but Lt. Hosfelt said he could not elaborate on any details.
Officers are checking pawn shops to make sure none of the stolen property has been taken there. Most of the property includes laptop computers, stereos and loose change, Lt. Hosfelt said.
"Any leads possible, we’re searching," Lt. Hosfelt said.
Officers contacted Bicentennial Village residents Thursday morning, asking them if they had seen anything unusual.
"Maybe they saw something that didn’t seem important at the time, but could prove important to the investigation," Lt. Hosfelt said.
Police also have increased patrols in Bicentennial Village, the Hamlet and adjacent west Dover neighborhoods.
Officers plan to start working with neighborhood watch programs, and will ask residents to make sure to keep their doors and windows locked, keep exterior lights on at night and to keep an eye out for odd behavior.

You will find a lot of burglaries and robberies are going on in Bicentennial Village , two fire arms were stolen
Watch your house and your neighbor's , check your family and friends stop these convicts before someone is harmed . Help the police in any way you can
Business owners if you need not be open , don't!!!!
form a phone tree , keep lights on
Report any thing out of the norm but stay safe
I honestly think it's time for a lock down .

The way crime is getting in Dover , a camera at each traffic light would not be a bad ideal .
You should know who is coming and going thru the town . Even have police cameras up in all the government subsidize complexes.
I also think that all business owner who are opened pass 10 pm should have their own security systems in place to help the police instead of hindering them

I see on Fox's and Friends this morning San Diego State University has opened a big door for the rest of the Schools , Colleges and other Universities in the USA.
Big Drug bust on their premises.
They started the investigation after the death of a 19 year old over dosing.
I'm sure Delaware officials could top their bust or come d**n close to it .
May they will do it before hand

I discussed this one time with one of those folks. This person is of the belief that any kind of physical discipline of a child, regardless of the circumstances, is abuse, and justification for their interceding and pursuing parental rights revocation and foster home placement of the children.
By the way, this person has no children of their own, and has no such plans to be a parent. But, they sure know how to parent effectively - straight out of a college course and textbook. Buh-loney!
I have a brother who had a similar problem 15 years ago , His wife had 3 kids before he married her. When they were 9 and 11 they would being brought home by the police for causing havoc in the town they lived and this went on for three or four month mama didn't want him to punish them or say any thing cause they weren't his kids, he finally got tired of their shenanigans and busted both their bums with a strap
The kids went to school and told on him and told their father who was only present every now and then and my brother was arrested for the first time . Well thank goodness for the police and a little divine intervention my brother was saved from a jail sentences .
The kids and their father learned alot ! At the cost of my brother .
After that hearing they never got into any trouble while their mother was married to him . Six years later they divorce and with in months both boys went to state prision

| It is called Conflict Theory. That talks about how crime is needed to create jobs, and other related items. I do not want a police state, but I am sick of hearing about fixing up the downtown area. We all know what must be done first to make the downtown area a place where people will want to visit and spend money.

We can only wish !
Abuse to the court system and the tax payers who have to deal with those poor wayward children who decided commit a crime.
Just think a judge 50 bucks an hour
his sectary 15 hr
the child protective worker 10 bucks an hr
1000 for the kids mental needs that his protective worker made up
200 for their lawyer 200 for the state lawyer each time they are brought into court
20,000,00 down the road what lesson did they learn ?
what lesson did we learn
That wood shed is sounding better all the time

The kids who tried to rob Wendys should not have been bailed out , they should have had to spend time in the poky. At lease 5 days and then had to work for the state cleaning up some of the other trash in the area before letting them go home.
Spare the rod spoil the child .
It's time some of these spoiled children who the state claims are innocent, cause in the eyes of the law a child can do no wrong get some old fashion up bringing.
Can we say wood shed justice .
Bet you 5 to 1 they are the same poor sweet children who stoled the cars in that same area or know who did.
Watch they will only rat out others when they start looking at time , like dominoes names would drop. Shame they can't learn that crime is wrong no matter who and when .
The don't snitch laws only apply until they get caught , then like a bargain basement sale they start to tell.

| Thanks to everyone that has posted so far. Dover should not be a place to house criminals! The people in power have to have the guts to stand up against crime no matter where they live. Criminals should lose all rights to government funded housing projects. MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! We do not want to become another I-95 metro area with a high crime rate.

I regret having to be this extreme, but the only hope for Capitol Park is with the machine known as Mike Zimmerman's bulldozer.
Remember, CP is NOT within Dover city limits, it's a county issue. Levy Court certainly isn't interested in discussing it for public consumption.

To add to your warnings
Two weeks ago at the Rodney Village Shore stop , Two cars were stolen .
One on Thursday and one on Friday , The owners left their keys in them and running .
So be smart and careful
turn them off and lock them up !
The famous words " Don't be stupid "
Capital Park would be a good place to get a Federal search warrant for the whole dang place. House to house

I wondered what that Capitol Park closeoff was about. Didn't see any mention of it in the newspapers or on line anywhere. And I haven't heard of any incident at KGH.
I live near the Square Club, and I would greatly appreciate there being a sobriery (and speed) checkpoint on both ends of College Road some Saturday night. Get the State Police to help, because the results would be quite interesting.
I remain of the opinion that there's no need for any retailer to be open 24/7/365. But those who so choose should ensure the safety of the employees, especially those working overnight, before some legislative body or their insurer either does it for them, or closes them overnight.
Locking the doors after dark, having drive-up windows like the fast food places, all gas purchases being card at the pump only after dark, would help keep the working folks safer. Some fast food places close the dining room after 9 PM, but keep the drive thru open late, sometines 24/7.

Two weeks ago they closed off the Capital Park neighborhood in the middle of
the afternoon because of a shooting incident. They wouldn't let the school buses
drop off the kids, while they searched the neighborhood. Even brought in a
State Helicopter. Wonder how many tax dollars that cost us just for that one
incident.
Also heard there was a shooting in the parking lot of Kent General Hospital last
week, but can't confirm whether it is a rumor or really true. Some of our
Newzap buddies might know.
Word to the wise, with the economy the way it is, use some common sense,
don't frequent these convenience stores after dark, and ladies, when you are
in the supermarkets, don't leave your handbag sitting in the cart!!! You are
inviting trouble.

I wonder if there were a DUI check point on Dover Kenton rd near the Square Club, with out informing the public before it happens.
How many fugitives of the law would they get?
How many guns would be confiscated ?
How much illegal drugs would be found ?
Then I wonder if the Federal , State , County and City government who use our tax dollars to pay for low income house and apartment rental so these poor folk who can't afford homes have a place to live , Like Liberty Court , Simon Circle and Manchester Square just to name a few , along with the owners of these places would agree to have their properties searched for illegal activities own their property, how much more crime could be stopped?
I wouder id ACLU and NAACP would open their minds to know that there is a problem with drugs and crime and some of their cases need not to be cases
But then keeping our would safe has it's cost.

If they would get a hand on DU it would be a start on some of the criminal action.
Campus security need to do more then they do , working along with the state and DPD .
I wonder if a blanket serach warrant would scare the ba ge bees out of them.

| I guess we could use Zimmerman's bulldozer also! He only got a couple of blocks near Wesley. Many more to go. Maybe City Council can hire him as "The Cleaner".

| How about a decrease in criminals to clean up the neighborhood. Why should I pay for more police, when a few well placed security cameras and a gun tower will solve the issues.
