Five to seven men trespassed on one of our neighborhood streets Sunday morning April 13. They started to break down the front door of a home on the street. It happened at about 6 AM. The home was well lit outside and had three cars parked in driveway. The intruders were observed going up to several other properties on the street. Mrs. Lynnette Lynn-Fraser, Co-President of the Mt Vernon
