IN PG COUNTY, THE 3300 BLOCK OF WALTERS LANE IN FORESTVILLE HAS BEEN THE LOCATION OF QUITE FEW RECENT CRIMES.
ON THE SHORT BLOCK, THREE MEN HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. A FOURTH DIED THERE MONTHS EARLIER. IN THE PAST YEAR, LOCAL POLICE HAVE LOGGED APPROXIMATELY 2,800 CALLS, INCLUDING ASSAULTS, ROBBERIES, THEFTS, ETC.
POLICE HAVE BECOME MORE VISIBLE IN THE AREA BY PLACING MORE PATROL OFFICERS ON WALTER LANE. THEY HAVE ALSO USED CADETS TO CANVASS FOR WITNESSES AND POST REWARD INFORMATION. THE INCREASED PRESENCE HAS HELPED BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO ARRESTS IN ANY OF THE THREE RECENT KILLINGS.
