CCJ Robbery

WAPT reported on a home invasion in NE Jackson:


Jackson police are investigating an early-morning home invasion robbery.

The call came in to police about 3 a.m. Wednesday, said Jackson Police Department spokeswoman Officer Colendula Green.

Two armed men forced their way into a home in the 400 block of St. Andrews Drive, stole several items, including the keys to the family's 2008 Infiniti QX56, Green said. The men left in the stolen vehicle, she said.

The family was shaken, but not hurt, Green said.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS.
Article

Just one little fact left out. The couple was placed into a bathroom and were told to stay there. They reported no injuries. Wife is in her 50's, husband is in his 60's. The thieves pried open a front window. No windows were cut open. However, I'm sure they were just a little bit more than just "shaken".  Thieves pretty much cleaned out the house and then took off.  Perps were armed with handguns. They described as black males between ages of 17-25.

My advice to those worried about burglaries: Get a dog that can hear and bark.


Update: Here is a map. What do you notice? A nice fat trail behind the block going all the way to those apartments in Ridgeland.  No wonder no one saw them come in the front way or through the main gate. The perps didn't have to do so.  Ok Jimmie, now you can turn your officers loose and let them teach the thugs a lesson in how to be thugs.

Keep on the look out! 10 to 1 the burglars were white,Christian, Republican, conservatives!

Heard about this yesterday. Again, they cut the glass to get into the house without the alarm going off. It's in Hinds County, so nothing will be done about this. Even if the police catch them, the judiciary will let them go. It's a vicious cycle that liberals (judges) do not have the courage to stop...and the criminals know it. I thought Obama was supposed to bring everybody together...yet the division grows.

This is the Country Club of Jackson right? How did they get passed the fearless whackenhut guard at the gate?

KF my information is extremely reliable and you're a tad off in your descriptions.

Isn't that neighborhood gated? How did they get in?

From WJTV.

"It was a nightmare come true." That's how a homeowner describes the frightening ordeal when two armed men broke into his Northeast Jackson home overnight while he and his wife were asleep. "They were standing over my wife and I with pistols in their hands."

The break-in happened around 2:30 in the morning near the golf course at the Jackson county club on St. Andrews Drive.

The victim, who didn't want to be identified, tells us the men, who were wearing white bandanas over their faces, forced he and his wife out of bed. "...and made us give them money, jewelry, whatever we had. shotguns, ipads and televisions."

As they ransacked the house looking for more valuables, the man says the robbers fired three shots."

"Did you think you were going to die? I wouldn't go that far. But the thought crossed my mind certainly."

Before they left, investigators say the robbers stole the couple's 2008 Infiniti SUV, with an Ole Miss license plate 908 R1.

Wednesday morning police detectives were seen leaving the home in the semi-gated neighborhood.

Meantime, this ordeal has left deep emotional scars. The victim says his wife no longer wants to sleep in the house they've called home for years.

The 400 block of St. Andrews drive is Jackson Country Club.

It is suspected that they came in on foot from the back, very near the house that was entered - which explains why they weren't seen by security at the front gate. No random job here. Definitely not amateurs.

Get several dogs. These thugs will just kill a lone dog.

Get a dog? They would shoot the dog, as has happened in the past.

10:07 said it all. If residents of JCC are not safe, when who is?

Kingfish said...

I actually have to spell this out for you.

OBVIOUSLY several of these robberies have taken place AFTER the perps evaded the home alarm systems by various means. People have been surprised in their sleep. Can't defend yourself if you are asleep. A dog hears something it barks. It barks, it wakes you up. You wake up, you have a better chance to defend yourself.

OBVIOUSLY if you are not there, the dog is at risk but I am talking about robberies where the homeowner is home when it takes place.

Rebekah said...

There is a gate to get out. There is a "guard gate" at the opening. Across from CCJ is not gated.

This sounds like the same thugs who robbed the couple down Old Canton (the ones who put a sign in their yard about it). They put the child in the bathroom though and robbed the house.

At least no one was hurt or killed. Stuff can be replaced.
Yet another reason why we moved out of Hinds County. Crime is unstoppable. Stupid thugs are going to take over

Anonymous said...

Doesn't take a special talent to get OUT of a gated community. Just drive up to the gate and stop. The gate opens. You drive out.

The only possible solution to this is for ex Navy Seals to live in pairs and sleep in shifts. This is a solution even Tom Head could love.

Anonymous said...

I know the family and while the house had an alarm system, it was not armed. Not to excuse what happened, but you cannot live in Jackson without an alarm system (that you actually arm and use).

It did happen in the CCJ on the backside in the patio homes. The CCJ is going to have to get gates, and security cams, and real guards at the entrance.

And the family is more than shaken. They are long time Jackson residents.

All of these problems will go away if we pull up our britches and dump more money into the zoo and the downtown money pit. We're just not borrowing enough, spending enough and taxing enough.

meople said...

I heard that they were having there windows replaced and that the window they pulled out was the only one that had not been set. My sources aren't reliable... but makes since. Inside job characteristics.

Anonymous said...

Windows are not typically set individually to alarm. Rooms yes, areas, yes, each window....no.

Maybe it was the guy who Judy Moon Denson hawks doors for.

1:02 you so wish that your dream world was as you see it. Eastover has many homes being built and sold as we type. You are just a super and total negative little shit that wants Jackson to fail, and you hate that there are some of us that won't give up.

What happened is HORRIBLE, and you love using it as an excuse to spout your insipid crap.

I. LOVE. LIVING. IN. JACKSON. AND. IN. EASTOVER. EYHO.

Anonymous said...

The back exit of CCJ ( not JCC) is free exit and exit only. The guard is at the south entrance.

KF is right. An inside dog is an early warning that burglars can't " disarm" from the exterior.

These guys are not amateurs, they get in silently to the human ear. They seem to know that the houses they target will have guns and jewelry.

Glad no one was injured. We need to remember a young man lost his live earlier this month in a home invasion in Hattiesburg. Please remember all the families in your prayers. It's a shame some people have such little respect for home and live.

Anonymous said...

@12:46 - I am totally confused about you saying that windows are typically set to alarm. Why? All of the houses I have ever had contacts on each window. And those houses were NO where close to the real estate in CCJ. That is the easiest place to get in without being seen. Not trying to start an argument just honestly curious.

I don't see the trail on the map, but I see paved roads that lead back into the "hood" apartments of Ridgeland.

Let's see. You're on the radio at the end of the hour encouraging the zoo to move for the obvious reasons that have turned Jackson into a shit hole but you're bagging comments here pointing to the very same reasons. Consistent you are not. What happened? Did Grossly Overpaid Duane call you?

These wholesale edits without explanation make you, really, look like the Harpy.

4:17 and 6:15, are your feelings hurt? I am so so sorry. You can cry on my shoulder. By the way, even if the zoo moved to lefleur's bluff, it still wouldn't be out of Jackson.

Remember, it's a free country and kingfish can post on his blog what he wants. If you don't like it, then you can spend your time gnashing your teeth at Jackson on the clarionledger's website along with Troy seals and dean hagleman.

Two people, one nearly 60, were put in bathroom and shot at in an effort to gain more information at 3 AM.

Thank you , KF.

While a gate and guard is helpful as it slows entrance and exit, unless the entire perimeter of a neighborhood is secure, security can be breached.

And, it is short sighted for those who live other than in Jackson to assume they have eliminated risk or that only black people are dangerous.

I would remind everyone of the horrendous home invasion by three white men in Connecticut.

Securing our homes these days is important and I appreciate that you pointed out a vulnerability that is often overlooked. Also, this should be a reminder to everyone not to be complacent.

We should be having a serious discussion about crime prevention measures that have worked elsewhere such as stop and frisk as in NYC or cameras as in Britain.

We live in a time of difficult choices. Knee jerk reactions aren't working.

Crime is all around us, not just Jackson. Audible alarms, (windows and doors), motion detector lights, dogs...then a gun. If you can keep them out you are way ahead. Thank goodness they weren't injured.

It is easy to hide behind a computer and speak your mind. Why do you think this site is so popular??
Ridiculing everyone and complaining about this site isn't hurting anyone. You are still visiting it and taking out time to post. So all you are doing is making this site even more popular...so thanks.

Regarding the actual topic: they got in the only window that had not been finished. Please tell me how they chose that house and that particular window by accident. It sounds like an inside job. When contractors have access to gate codes or get to know the access routes, nothing is protected anymore. Those thugs knew exactly what they were doing and knew exactly what window to go in.

Jackson could be so much more than what it is turning out to be. I never felt safe living in NE Jxn. I am not from Jackson- I lived in Madison. So jackson was never home to me. But the majority of the people who love living there and refuse to move is because that is their home! Of course they want to support it and fight for it. If everyone did move out of jackson then we would become overpopulated in Madison County and jackson would turn into the third ward.
No one is safe from crime- we just have a better police force and mayors who actually care about the reputation of their cities. Jackson is lacking in both.

I feel terrible for the couple- who are also parents and grandparents. No one deserves to go through that.

So what can be done about crime? How can people take back their city? Invest in alarms and actually activate them. Get dogs- especially a yappy dog that barks when the wind blows. I absolutely believe in being armed, but that would not have helped them in this situation. So what else? And what about the ones who don't live in CCJ or Eastover or any of the other well established Jackson neighborhoods? What about the ones who work their butts off and cut corners to allow their children to go to a private school? What if they can't afford to move? It's not always as simple as getting up and moving. Some people are not as fortunate as others and that's just life. But they deserve to be protected as well. People need to take back their community and start fighting back. I just have no idea how it is going to happen.

Anyone who still lives in Jackson has waited way, way too long. Real estate values are only going to go further down. Cut your losses now. Should have cut them years ago.

What were you waiting for, anyway? Chockwe to "free the land?"

3 two million dollar homes going up at end of Meadowbrook Road, 1 million dollar home going up on Quail Run, 1 one and a half million dollar home going up on Eastover and Dogwood. housing values in NEJ higher than ever....check with your realtor. 4:46 for a grown man, you have an obsession problem with Jackson. You have become redundant and ridiculous.

Anonymous said...

Have been a RE agent here for 19 years. To say that "housing values in NEJ higher than ever" based on a handful of highly customized homes in Eastover is a sweeping generalization. Aggregating NEJackson housing stock information to include Eastover or Fondren, for example, only produces highly skewed conclusions.

I said '60 ain't old' because the mighty Kingfish had insinuated the occupant, being 'almost 60' must surely be decrepit (definition: Worn out from old age) and unable to protect himself. A sweeping generalization.

10:27 : How long ago did you buy your home in Leftover? If you bought it since the Housing Bubble burst around '08, then I take your statement to mean that the house has appreciated significantly, in real terms.

If you bought it decades back (like maybe in '80, when a new Volvo cost ten thousand Dollars), then I'm going to assume you mean the price has not kept pace with inflation.

I know someone with a chic Fifties Modern house in Leftover (without foundation problems, even...), who has been trying to sell the place for YEARS. He keeps lowering the price, too...

Anonymous said...

10:31, I bought the house just over 10 years ago.

Trying to sell the place for years? Really?

All those houses that went up for sale by those that could no longer afford their houses... they don't have for sale signs in front of them anymore. I guess the people that appraised my house for refinancing were stupid and used comps that didn't exist, since you know someone that couldn't sell their house for YEARS.

Since our racist mayor took office this summer, there have been some crazy ideas thrown around about Chockwe trying to run the few remaining white people out HIS CITY!! I initially thought that was nuts, but there are more and more STRONG armed robberies and home invasions in the few remaining, upscale neighborhoods in Jackson. So here is my thought.......Where in THE HELL is our mayor and why in THE HELL has he made NO COMMENT! If he is trying to run all of the people OUT OF THE CITY WHO ACTUALLY PAY the outrageous TAXES, then he is shooting himself in the foot! If not, then he needs to get off his dead ass and reach out to these homeowners and associations with a slight show of concern and a promise to get involved! Maybe I am confusing his role thanks to the late,great Frank Melton, but it is as if he says it all by saying NOTHING! I had hoped he would proove everyone wrong!

I didn't mean to put you on the defensive, Aug24 - 10:27 & 11:19. I was mainly looking for a clarification, which you provided quite well. Thank you.

It looks like your home is holding its value pretty well. That is encouraging. Most of us in Madison moved here to avoid or escape the social climate among Jackson WHITES, rather than to "get away from - THEM". And we are not thrilled to see a mad stampede of people who are not moving here because they like Madison's unique over-the-top, aim-for-the-stars exuberance, but who are moving here simply because they hate and fear people of a certain color.

We really don't like matrons who go to First Pres in Jacktown, moving here and then telling us that our buildings are too fancy for their refined Colonial tastes. We wish people like that would stay in Woodland Hills or wherever, and keep on shopping at Maywood Mart and DeVille Plaza, where they belong.

Not that Leftover is home to people like that, particularly. And I really think that the young Hipster docs at the Med Center should be snapping-up the Fifties Modern houses there: they're perfect for the Midcentury Modern furnishings a lot of people seem to crave.

The particular house I mentioned in an earlier post is owned by someone who is not a "motivated seller". I doubt the house represents even five percent of his net worth. He just wants "To get away from all these vicious Jackson socialites."

I can't personally comment on Jacktown's social scene, since we moved to Madison directly from college - and grew up in the Delta. And if we 'go out on the town', the town is generally one to which we've flown, and in a far-distant region.

Anyway, contrary to what a lot of people think, those of us who live in Madison and Brandon wish for Jackson to thrive. We have our ways of life. You guys have yours. We want to preserve our way of life.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
