Negative news is not usually reported by Avalon police reports, but warning residents that thieves are in the area and not apprehended is a concern for me. Copper piping from crawl spaces and air conditioning units are being stolen. Areas to be watched are the 42nd St. and Pelican Drive areas. Residents, be on the lookout for scavengers and thieves, and watch your neighbors' property. Together we can apprehend the criminals.
