SUMMARY: Missouri state Sen. Jill Carter plans to introduce legislation to enhance border security and resource allocation for law enforcement in response to rising border-related crimes in her district. After meeting officials in Texas, she aims to proactively address the impacts of a border crisis affecting communities far from the U.S.-Mexico border, including Jasper and Newton counties. With concerns over crime linked to illegal immigration, including a recent murder involving undocumented migrants, Carter underscores the strain on local services from an influx of refugees, notably from countries designated as security threats. She emphasizes the need for effective measures to protect residents and ensure accountability to taxpayers.

SUMMARY: As the holidays approach, a South St. Louis County neighborhood is on alert after a recent string of car break-ins. Around 2:30 AM, four suspects were captured on surveillance cameras as they ransacked parked vehicles, stealing items like headphones and medication. Local resident Aaron Bill, whose security footage documented the incident, feels uneasy about the increasing crime. While he and others express frustration, they note the neighborhood’s generally safe reputation. Bill recalls a similar incident from last year, where the juvenile suspects were eventually caught and certified as adults for harsher penalties. Residents hope for increased security.

Aaron Vilcek said it’s happened again: Suspects were captured on surveillance cameras pulling on car door handles in the middle of the night on Wickershire Lane in south St. Louis County.

“It’s that time of the year,” he said.
