Flickr.comHow is the Hawthorne Eco Village like Cuba, Libya, Syria or (my personal favorite) Beirut, Lebanon? Well, it turns out the Eco Village is a desirable destination for hijackers. One hijacker, anyway...
According to the 4th Precinct Highlights, Week 554, September 16-September 22, "two 22 & 23 year old females were parked downtown when a male approached and demanded a ride at gunpoint. At the destination--which turned out to be 31st and 4th--the suspect exited and demanded purses, reached into the car and grabbed a phone, striking one of the women and causing facial scratches. The suspect then met with another male. The victims drove home to Coon Rapids and later reported the incident." (Grammar and punctuation cleaned up from original report)
This presents a fine argument for putting a police camera--mobile or otherwise--in the Eco Village.
