LRPD asks for help locating suspicious vehicle

UPDATE: Little Rock Police have found the truck and arrested the suspect!

The Little Rock Police Department has asked neighborhood associations to inform their members to be on the lookout for this truck. It was involved in several burglaries and thefts. This is a stolen truck with license plate 044NYS. It’s a 90’s model GMC.

If you see this vehicle, please let Adjutant Sergeant Zebbie Burnett at 501-918-3500 or contact the LRPD Communications Division at 501-918-4829. After hours, dial 911. Of course, you should always dial 911 if you observe an emergency or suspect a crime in progress.

Get involved in your neighorhood

Broadmoor runs on the volunteer efforts of its residents. Here's how you can get involved:

1. Go next door and meet your neighbors. Stay in touch with them. The Little Rock Police Department time and time again tells us that watching out for each other is the key to crime prevention.

2. Participate in the neighborhood watch. E-mail me at the address below, and I'll get you involved.

3. Attend monthly Broadmoor meetings at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month. We meet at the clubhouse. The board is made up of volunteers, and we are always appreciative of new participants.

4. Show up for volunteer activities. We have plenty. Pool and park work days are some examples.

5. Participate in UALR's University District effort. See the links on our Web page.

6. Do you part to keep the neighborhood clean and nice.
