YOU’LL WANT TO BE CAREFUL GOING SHOPPING IN ALBUQUERQUE … DESPITE THE FACT APD SAYS PARKING LOT ROBBERIES ARE NOT SPIKING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OVER THE SUMMER … BUT POLICE SPOKESMAN TANNER TIXIER TELLS US THEY HAD 8 LAST WEEK … AND THE AVERAGE IS NINE A WEEK.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT, BUT TIXIER TELLS US THE NUMBERS ARE IMPROVING. HE SAYS THEY HAD 35 ROBBERIES IN AUGUST … AND 20 IN SEPTEMBER.
TIXIER SAYS WOMEN WILL STILL WANT TO PARK IN WELL-LIT AREAS, WALK WITH PURPOSE … AND LEAVE THE PURSE IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR IF YOU CAN.
