The 'Hood Comes to the Heights

We understand blue-collar criminals are encroaching on an area of Little Rock normally associated with little or no crime and dominated by white-collar denizens.

We're talking about the Heights.

The most disturbing report involves a mugger assaulting a woman and stealing her purse. The recent incident occurred in broad daylight in the commercial area of the neighborhood.

This follows an earlier purse robbery of a neighborhood grocery shopper a couple weeks ago.

We've also heard reports of a more stealthy and less personal crime in the Heights.

The count is one confirmed, with a possible second incident, involving the theft of car wheels, specifically those of a Nissan Maxima.


At least the thieves left the car(s) on blocks.
