According to local news sources, the SouthPark Mall Nordstrom store was robbed for the second time in five days.
This of course in the not the first notable crime in SouthPark, but it highlights a troubling trend. SouthPark used to be the goto place for shopping and some pretty good dining options. No more. While it is still better than NorthLake it is not 2005.
The CMPD police report states the latest incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the high-end department store. An initial investigation said that security, described as “asset protection,” was alerted to a group of people concealing items.
While attempting to apprehend them, the group assaulted security, which resulted in minor injuries before the group fled the scene.
The case is being classified as a robbery and assault. There is no description of the subjects or surveillance video at this time. This remains an active investigation.
CMPD is seldom open about pending cases. Only after they have exhausted other avenues do they turn to the public and local news sources to generate leads.
CMPD's efforts to combat crime and the perception of crime are getting a lot of air time lately.
12 hour shifts are being demo'd across the city, steady blue lights on all CMPD vehicles are now standard, an accident response unit has been rolled out to handle Charlotte's ever increasing MVA 10-50s and CMPD has abandoned Crime Mapping for their own in house citizen access to crime stats CMPD CRIME Mapper.
Effort to recruit officers is still a concern, with more than 2 dozen up for retirement in 2025.
The lack of new Officers puts the burden on current Officers. Days off are subject to change some Officers say the only way they can have a day off is to call in sick.
CPs Take: Its sad when you have to fake the flu when it's your kids high school play off game. Being voluntold to work a Panther's game because David Tepper is a tight ass and won't pay secondary enough to make it worth the effort.
Finally Cedar Posts and Meckburbia will not be offering a running post "Baddies of CMPD" apologies in advance.
Love this article. Shows that you listen to your readers.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the uproar if Cedar did post a list of "Hot Cops" the funny part would be the demands for equality in that case I'm happy to over myself to calm the liberals.
ReplyDeleteDang. U ok bro? That’s the third time you’ve asked for that in a week. Go get a drink, too thirsty.
Delete“Where my hug” lookin ah
Delete1303: dang nigga don’t get so triggered by these cops comments. They are just being silly. It ain’t that serious out here.
Delete103 getting riled bout internet comments, but taxpayers upset about your response times and dismissed cases. I want to see these lights all over town to shake these criminals.
DeleteBack the Blue!
DeleteSo the idea is the department and the city doesn't have enough cops but by making them more visible the bad guys will go away? Did anyone think that they will just wait until the blue light rolls around the corner and then go back to whatever no good they were doing?
ReplyDeleteIt’s about visuals for the public. They don’t feel safe around downtown. They try putting cops on foot patrol, but they just act lazy and hide.
DeleteCedar if you change your mind about CMPD baddies I've got a pretty good list and I've added Russo. You're Welcome.
ReplyDeleteDrop the list
DeleteLil Wayne said..”weee weeee a weee. Miss Offica take dees cuff off of us”
DeleteCan’t say the crime mapper is all that impressive, then again the crime analysis unit has been mapping crime for years, not surprisingly what was a sh- hole 10 years ago still is.
ReplyDeleteHEY CEDAR DO A STORY ABOUT MCFADDEN BITCHIN ABOUT ICE NOT GETTING THE MEXiCANS. BIDEN STRIPPED OUR BUDGET SO WE CANT GET THEM.
ReplyDeleteWho is up for doing 12-hour shifts?
ReplyDeleteSure..7am-7pm.
DeleteM-W only
JJ told Brett Jensen at WBT in an interview that 12s are voluntary.
DeleteVoluntary to admin staff doing the scheduling who it doesn’t affect while they work 9-5 and take their cars home with 0 chance they’re responding for “callback”
Delete“Reference 55”. Stfu Rudd, no one cares about stupid dwis, get off the radio for 5 minutes, I can’t even work off duty without hearing that big mouth
ReplyDeleteI mean, kinda got a point
DeleteTru
DeleteI respect any officer that still makes arrests at CMPD.
Delete1353 someone has to cause the CRUs don’t do shit
DeleteCedar I'm sending some photos for your consideration. I think you'll agree these cops meet our standards.

DeleteFemale cops are crazy. Leave those old girls alone since they have enough problems already.
DeleteAmen brother. Anyone tracking the Body Count post? Whole lotta chatter about crazy over there.
DeleteWhere is the body count post?
DeleteNVM...
DeleteWhen you finally realize..
ReplyDeleteYou Work With Crazy People
Not as crazy as the idiot who felony stopped his own patrol car on Brookshire Blvd (that he was driving) and now that same retarded boot is a PTO in D2.
DeleteYeah, he was in my academy class. Not very bright, only thing he has going for him is being 7ft tall.
DeleteBeat it Shorty!
DeleteI’ll take a dumb giant over a scrawny geek or DEI hire any day. Dumb giants don’t start fights or play games at the office.
DeleteI was driving downtown last night around 7pm and a car drove right through a red light on Davidson a 40mph. Lucky, a blue light unit was there to follow the car towards NoDA. Good job to that rookie officer out here getting it.
ReplyDeleteThen he gets written up for speeding without his lights on fast enough 6 months later
DeleteIt happened to my friend. 74 on the freeway gets you redflagged
DeleteArchdale getting a lot of action lately. Mexicans are loco!
ReplyDeleteYou dumb rookies just don’t get it. They will have you drive circles in Tyron to Westover and then move you to North or South. You will stay in your home and count to 3 before you walk outside. You will ride 10-50s until they target you before you get to 25 years.
ReplyDeleteThe best plan is to make friends with a Sgt and ride coat tails.
This dept runs on Sgts and maybe 1 or 2 Captains that GAF. If the Sgts stayed home command would just shit themselves stupid.
DeleteI took a vacation and they called/texted me every fucking day.
DeleteUntil "security" starts profiling and openly shadowing the thugs everyone knows is there to steal -- nothing will change.
ReplyDeleteThe security alarms at South Park sound like smoke detector battery chirps. All around, everywhere, and follow a specific demo
ReplyDeleteI was at Northlake and had my gun with me. The cops and guards started stacking up outside the store that I was shopping. They said the dog smelt the gun which was nonsense. I just finished my shopping and left safely. The parking lot is very dangerous and smelt like weed.
DeleteYou'd not find me at a mall ever.
