More Party House Problems and Graffiti
Despite complaints last week, party house problems persisted this weekend on both the 400 block of S. Laurel and 400 block of S. Cherry.
According to one neighbor:
“They had another huge loud party last night. (VCU Police) Officer Felton and RPD went out last week and spoke to them. It made no impact, since just a few days later they were back to it.”
In addition to more litter this morning, blue paint graffiti tags were found nearby:

Bicycle Heist Foiled
This past Thursday evening a neighbor on the 600 block of S.Laurel saw 3 juveniles start to boost a bicycle off the front porch of a student house across the street. She bravely told them to put it back and called the police. The would be thieves left before the police could arrest them, but the neighbor’s daughter shared with the police a cell phone video of the incident.

Lanie Kruszewski Memorial Ride Set For Sunday
From WRIC:
RICHMOND, VA—A group bicycle ride in memory of Lanie Kruszewski is set for this Sunday.
Monday marks the one year anniversary of the night the 24-year-old was struck and killed while riding her bicycle along River Road.
Elias Webb, the Richmond man convicted of felony hit-and-run in connection with the July 29th wreck, was sentenced in July to three years behind bars. In February, it took a jury of four men and 10 women just less than three hours to reach the verdict.
A group bike ride to remember Kruszewski is set for the evening of Sunday, August 4.
The 14-mile ride will go to the corner of River Road and Bridgeway Road, where a memorial for Kruszweski has been set up.
Riders are asked to meet Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Oregon Hill Outlook where Laurel Street meets the river.
