2023 LRIA Halloween Trunk or Treat
Please mark your calendars for this exciting, annual community event.
Trunk-or-treating is a version of trick-or-treating where kids go from trunk to trunk
(instead of door to door) to collect Halloween treats.
The event is safe for all ages, and we invite residents and community partners to come-on-out, decorate your "trunks", and join in on the festivities of Halloween tradition.
Event is co-sponsored by the Immanuel Lutheran Church.

COMMUNITY ALERT!!!
Notice of Increased Auto Theft
The Northeast Police Department has issued an immediate advisory for the uptick in vehicular theft and car larceny not only in the Loch Raven district, but throughout Baltimore City. Certain model Hyundai and Kia vehicles are most prone to auto theft, due to a social media post that encourages thieves to use electronic devices to bypass the security features. But beware - all vehicles are susceptible targets for thieves!
Please remember to ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR, no matter how brief the vehicle is left unattended, and NEVER LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN AN IDLING VEHICLE. It is also highly encouraged that you use a steering wheel lock, or engine disabling device to protect your vehicle.
And be vigilant! If you observe illegal or suspicious activity, PLEASE CALL 911!!!

In an effort to keep our neighborhood safe, clean, and strong, our entire Loch Raven neighborhood

As per our visual inspection, the following issues were documented and will now be forwarded to
Code Enforcement authorities for the appropriate follow-up:
trash, litter, and debris, bulk trash, high grass and weeds, derelict vehicles, unhealthy animal environments, illegal signage, illegal dumping and graffiti,
and yes... the non-retrieval of trash / recycling cans from the alley.
The LRIA encourages all residents to take proactive measures to ensure that your property is inspection-ready at all times. We appreciate you cooperation in this matter.
