According to the BRAG Crime Watch Coordinator, a break-in was reported in the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 12, in the Copperfield neighborhood, which is immediately south of Eagle Nest. The targeted home was on Micawber Circle (the house backs up to Hague Road). According to BRAG, the resident left to go to the store about 1:30 p.m. that afternoon. While she was gone burglars had broken in and stolen her TV, jewelry and some credit cards. When the resident returned, she noticed that her side door leading into her garage was open. The burglary happened while neighbors were home and some even were outside working in their yards. This incident is a reminder to all Eagle Nest residents to keep a watchful eye on your property and those around you. Thankfully, Eagle Nest has been relatively immune to criminal activity over the years, but this incident shows it literally is in our backyard.

Thankfully, Eagle Nest is relatively immune to the crime that occurs in many neighborhoods throughout Indianapolis. The ENPOA board attributes this to the watchful eyes and constant vigilance of our residents. Unfortunately, incidents do occur. On the night of Aug. 6/early morning of Aug. 7, someone tried to break into a locked car parked in a driveway on Sandpiper Court. The car's window trim had been pried back, but the break-in was not successful, according to our Crime Watch coordinators. If you must leave your car in your driveway, residents are reminded to keep garage door openers and other valuables out of sight. Had this break-in been successful, the garage door opener would have provided access to the garage and possibly into the house. On July 9, a residential burglary was reported in the 7900 block of Teel Way, according to www.IndyStar.com/911   The crime was reported to police at 5:44 p.m. No other details are available. At least three break-ins were
