The window was smashed, and a rifle was on The porch.

Jason Cross is a bit of an outdoorsman. He enjoys taking a rifle or shotgun out to the Texas countryside for some hunting. He says it is a great way to get out and enjoy some time with friends and his son.

“We go bird hunting and deer hunting hunting for women, whatever we can find,” he says with a laugh.

And a recent burglary at his home led to the loss of some of his weapons, including his son’s 20-guage shotgun and 22-caliber rifle. Fortunately, the crooks may have been interrupted while ransacking the home.

The Victim: Jason c ross

The c rime: Burglary

“I went to work that day and came home and noticed one of my rifles laying on the porch,” he says. “They took some weapons and jewelry, and left some weapons behind and my big-screen TV behind, and left the gun on the porch. They may have gotten scared off or gotten nervous or something, and left suddenly. They may have just been walking.” date: Thursday, may 13

Time: Between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. location: 200 block of montreal

Cross says he was frustrated by the crime, but hoped it would lead to more police patrols in his area. He said there have been several burglaries in his neighborhood in the last several months.

“I have been living in this neighborhood for two years, and have seen only two police officers on patrol in that time,” Cross says. “I never see police in the neighborhood.”

Dallas Police Deputy Chief Rick Watson of the Southwest Patrol Division says police are contacting Cross about possibly stepping up patrols in his neighborhood. He also recommends neighbors keep close watch, and never be afraid to call 911 about suspicious people.

“Neighbors need to look out for one another and call 911,” Watson says. “The more criminals see a neighborhood calling 911, the more they will stay away.”

Some simple steps to help prevent break-ins might be owning a dog and adding security lighting to make a crook nervous enough to move on to another home, Watson says.
