From the Broussard Civic Association:

Someone tried to break into 1011 Marwede around 8 am this morning. They attempted to kick in the back door but were unsuccessful. The alarm went off and apparently scared them away. They had moved the garbage can near the front door and had plans to dump their goods in it and roll it down the street. The police officer that responded said that they have had similar incidents on Kenmore, Arlington and several other locations in the area. He said people need to be aware of anyone walking around in the area no matter what they look like and call BRPD at 389-2000 to report them. He also mentioned that they had a home invasion recently on Beverly (north of Government St.) because someone opened their door to a stranger who then put a gun in their face to gain entry. He said that we all need to stop being so polite to strangers and not be afraid to report them to the police.
