More Capitol Hill burglaries: There was another flurry of reported burglaries around the Hill in the past 36 hours according to SPD incident data. We noted a possible spike in activity in our previous blotter update, also. We’ve got a few questions out to East Precinct about the situation and will update when we hear back. UPDATE : A rep from East Precinct said that they’re aware of daily fluctuations in reports but that recent trends show residential burglary is in sharp decline across the Hill — down 22% vs. this time in 2011 according to the data the precinct uses to make tactical deployment decisions. Commercial burglaries are less common but occurring at about the same rate as 2011. The biggest thing to do to help besides making sure doors are deadbolted, windows are latched and valuables are squirreled away, is call 911 immediately if you see something happening in your neighborhood.

How about the court side of things? Reporting on what happens after an arrest is, well, hard. That’s why you don’t see a lot of it done at large media outlets — and why CHS is sometimes scrambling to keep up with cases that can drag out for weeks and months. We’ll have an update soon about some of the latest Capitol Hill-related criminal proceedings.
