Is Irvine Really Safe Anymore?
Yesterday, my husband and I went to the bank near our house to grab some cash. We only had a five-minute drive back, but as soon as I got inside, a man grabbed my husband from behind while he was putting the trash can away and snatched the envelope full of cash straight from his pocket. A car was idling on the street, ready to make a quick getaway. We called 911, and four police cars showed up in five minutes. Our neighbors were awesome, helping us check the security footage. Turns out, the guy probably followed us from the bank, and we were unlucky enough not to get inside fast enough.
I’ve always thought our neighborhood was safe, but now I’m more cautious. For anyone in Irvine, keep an eye out for suspicious cars, and make sure your home has solid security cameras! #SafetyFirst #IrvineCrime #StayAlert
