Crime down 47% near
Cedar Springs strip
Business leader says recent string of
robberies has become rare, credits
working relationship with police for
decrease in Wycliff-Lemmon TAAG
ANNA WAUGH | Staff Writer

Despite a recent string of robberies that made
the TV news, overall crime dropped sharply in
the first six months of 2012 in the area near the
Cedar Springs strip.
Crime in the Wycliff-Lemmon Target Area Ac-
tion Grid, previously called the Cedar Springs-
Wycliff TAAG and the Maple-Wycliff TAAG,
decreased 47 percent from January 1 to July 10
compared to year-end numbers from 2011 ob-
tained from Dallas Police Department.
The TAAG stretches from Maple Avenue to
Lemmon Avenue and from Oak Lawn Avenue to
Kings Road. Violent crime dropped 46 percent,
with 58 offenses in the first six months of the year.
There were 362 nonviolent crimes reported, a 47
percent drop from last year's numbers.
Scott Whittall, executive director of the Cedar
Springs Merchant Association, said merchants
have been working closely with police to report
crimes. The security guard the association hired
has also communica ted with police to report sus-
picious people and incidents.
"I think the reason crime is down is because
we've worked closely with Dallas police, even
though we don't have cameras yet," he said.
"[Cameras] are a great reason to drive down
crime even more."
The Wycliff-Lemmon hot spot ranked No. 7 for
overall crime in April, but currently ranks No. 11
among the list of 27 hot spots citywide. The TAAG
is also No. 11 in line for new police technology
that would furnish areas with added cameras and

Four robberies and a possible fifth that police
are investigating occurred within the first 11 days
of July in the Wycliff-Lemmon TAAG, prompting
NBC Channel 5 to air a story about the offenses
this week.
The first robbery was at 3 a.m. on July 4 when
a man walking near his residence in the 3800
block of Cedar Springs Road was held up by a
suspect in a vehicle. The suspect took the victim
hostage and stole his wallet before releasing him
at a gas sta tion in Addison.
On July 7, a man and his friend were robbed in
the 4100 block of Hall Street around 11 p.m. They
were walking toward a residence when two white
suspects in their 20s with brown hair and medium
