Get with the Neighborhood Watch program

We wrote this week’s editorial encouraging participation in Neighborhood Watch programs before hearing about these arrests. Check out this part of the story:

The pair were parked in the neighborhood for a while and would approach homes, often knocking on doors, South Brunswick police spokesman Detective James Ryan said. He said that if someone answered the door, the suspects would tell them it was the wrong home or that they were looking for “Mr. Smith.”

Mr. Smith? I’m thinking Timber Ponds needs a Neighborhood Watch.
