Carjack Trick
Investigators say the public should be on the lookout for carjackers who have a trick to fool their potential victims.

The carjackers use jumper cables hooked up to their battery to look like they are in trouble and then pull a gun when someone stops to help.

That is what happened to at least one good Samaritan near the University of Central Florida overnight.

Dennis Tran stopped to help three men who looked like their van was broken down, but he got suspicious and got away quickly.

"It was kind of scary. At the same time, I was like, if they are going to do anything like shoot me, they would have shot me through the car," Tran said.

Orange County deputies said Tran's experience was the second attempted carjacking Tuesday night. They also said the would-be carjackers used a van they took in the Pine Hills area Tuesday.

Halloween pointers from OCSO

HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FOR TRICK OR TREATING


Trick or Treating should be one of the great adventures of Halloween for kids! They can get dressed in scary costumes and go door to door, begging "Tricks or Treats!" from neighbors or walk around the local mall. Lots of towns have a Harvest Festival so kids can Trick-or-Treat safely. But going door to door is the stuff of childhood memories! It should be a fun time, without trouble and pain, so following some easy tips can keep your child safe every Halloween.

Plan a safe route so parents know where their older kids will be at all times. Set a time for their return home. Make sure that your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves.
Always accompany young children. Small children should never be allowed to go out alone on Halloween.
Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Stop only at familiar houses in your own neighborhood unless they are accompanied by an adult.
Let your children know not to cut through back alleys and fields. *** Make sure they know to stay in populated places and don't go off the *** beaten track. Stay in well lighted areas.
Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars.
Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you.

General Safety Tips For Everyone
*Homeowners should prepare their home for trick-or-treaters by removing obstacles from the front yard, restraining dogs and other animals, and lighting the house well
*Provide treats that are individually wrapped candy or offer kids nonfood treats, such as stickers and erasers.
*Artificial lights and candles are a safer alternative to real candles with a flame that can pose a fire hazard
*If going to an adult Halloween party, make sure that you don't drink and drive. Use a designated driver if alcohol is being consumed.

Bent Oak Crimewatch info

Hi Everybody,
I knew it was too good to last, Bent Oak had some problems the last few days. On 10/1/07 at approximately 7:30pm on Bent Oak Dr. a Black man dressed in somewhat dirty cloths with a shirt that said "Cable" on the back, knocked on a door and said that he was there to cut off the power and needed to get inside the house. He asked if your father was home and the quick acting boy said that he was home but was in the shower. The man was persistent on getting inside the house to cut the power off. The boy said he was not going to let him in, and then the man left. The police were called and they made a couple trips around Bent Oak but could not find anything. That was a quick acting boy that said what he did say, good for him!!!!!

A car was ransacked and a few Cd's were taken, the car was not locked up, the police were called on that one too.

We are getting to that time of the year when we have to be special careful on what we do, so be on the look out for anything that does not look just right, and don't be afraid to watch out for your neighbors, because I hope they will be looking out for your homes too. Lets all get together and be safe...... Dave S.

I recieved this from OCSO, (Information)

This may be an option for parents who are looking for assistance with their child.

Subject: RE: Florida Youth Challenge Academy

The Florida National Guard operates a program for at risk juveniles ages 16-18 at Camp Blanding (near Jacksonville). It is a voluntary residential program that lasts about 6 weeks. No Felony convections or adjudications.

Mr. Hawthorne Herbert is the admissions coordinator and volunteered to give your SROs a presentation about the program. His office number is (904)682-4032. This program has been extremely successful and is accredited by the school board in Clay County. I believe this would be a great resource for the SROs if they are not already aware of the program.

They can also visit our website at www.ngycp.org/state/fl for more information about the academy.

The Florida Youth Challenge Academy is a State Certified High School. Applicants can earn a standard high school diploma by passing the GED and FCAT. Classes starts in January and July each year. They are now accepting application for the January session.
