Safety Alert - Car vandalism

On Wednesday, June 29, a rear spoiler was stolen off the back of a car parked in a driveway on Levi Court between midnight and 7am.

Many Greenwood residents have had to deal with the volation of their car emblems stolen over the past years. While frustrating, it has mostly been a nuisance with minimal costs to the owners. The theft of the rear spoiler is becoming more and more common in Fairfax County as well as other counties and can cost thousands of dollars to repair depending on the extent of damage.

When filling out the police report, the officer made a point to mention proper lighting is the best way to prevent these crimes. The more nighbhors who leave their lights on overnight, the better the lighting, the safer the neighborhood is for everyone.
