Feb. 28: A woman reported a man exposing his penis to two 14-year-old children at Claremont and Midland Avenues around 3 p.m.
The woman said while she was driving on Claremont Ave., she noticed an overweight man dressed in a blue and yellow Nautica jacket, around 50-years-old, salt and pepper hair, wearing sweatpants, approach a boy and a girl.
She noticed the children reacting strangely to the man. When she went to get a closer look, she saw the man exposing his penis to them. Police patrolled the area, but couldn’t find anyone matching the man’s description.
Feb. 27: A huge fight over a woman took place on the second floor at 173 Glenridge Ave. It was broken up by cops spraying pepper spray. When cops arrived between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., there were eight black males in a small room punching each other. There was also a large crowd of people gathering around and screaming. Officers asked the eight men to stop fighting several times, but they didn’t. Finally, the officers said if they didn’t stop, they would use pepper spray on them. They continued to fight, so the officers sprayed several short bursts into the crowd. The people fighting and watching left immediately. Officers said there were about 100 people in attendance. Officers were unable to locate any of the men that were fighting.
Feb. 25: A man reported that someone tried to lure his 13-year-old daughter into a car while she was shoveling the sidewalk outside of her Clinton Avenue home. The girl saw a dark colored car move slowly down the street and stop right in front her. The driver and passenger then got out and started to talk to each other. One of them then turned to the girl and said, “Hey baby, get in the car.” The girl immediately ran to a neighbor who was shoveling his driveway. She told the neighbor what happened and he walked her home.
The driver and passenger are described to be black males, 20-30-years-old, 6’2″ and clean-shaven. Both were dressed alike, wearing dark blue knit hats, dark blue jackets and dark pants. They were driving a black four-door car.
Police scanned the area, but were unable to find anyone matching their description.

WTF???? Why some many sexual predators in our neck of the woods?
Wow, 0/3 on actually catching perps. Nice work…
Must’ve been one hell of a looker for eight guys to actually come to fisticuffs over her. And there’s eight of them fighting, plus 100 people in attendance…how were there no arrests?
The woman had just cashed her welfare check and the sight of all that case caused pandemonium.
