Population growth contributed to the rise of auto thefts and holdups, police officials said. Tarrant County's population increased from 1.45 million residents in 2000 to 1.7 million residents last year, and Northeast Tarrant got its share, according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments. "It's not all bank robberies and store holdups," Haltom City police Sgt. Terry Stayer said, referring to robbery cases. "You will find that cities are having more and more a person being robbed in a parking lot." he said. "Or there are shoplifters who decide to get into fights with store owners, and that makes it a robbery." But the number of thefts -while still the most-frequent felony crime - declined in almost every city in the area. statistics showed. Police officials said that increased patrols and crime-prevention programs helped keep the number of thefts down. "When you see that a number of cities are reporting a decrease, it means a uniform effort by police departments to keep that crime down," Bedford Police Chief David Flory said. Major crimes include homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and auto theft. In area cities, homicides remained low through those five years. Rapes and aggravated assaults showed no major changes. In property crimes, burglaries also decreased through the years in most area cities, statistics showed. ramirezastar-telegram.com Domingo Ramirez Jr., 817-685-3822 .

The characterizations of Carl Ty- son andVeva Lou MIassey were totally wrong and unjustified. Previous letters referred to them as self-servirlg and not caring about the E<uless resi- dents.,.This is simj~ly not the case. Massey and Tyson served the City Council well in their last term, and we need them back to help bring stability to the council and to serve the people of Euless wj th strength and integrity.

Brant Eden Berry, 38, was arrested Tuesday on syspicion of indecency with a child by contact, a second-degree felo- ny. The aunt of Berry's 14-year- bld accuser reported to police that Berry fondled her nephew June 4 while he slept over at Berry's home in the 300 block of CanteTbury Street. The boy was a friend of Berry's adopted son, said Lt. Wayne Pavlock. Berry was released on $30,000 bail Wednesday after- noon. . Police searched Berry's home Wednesday and seized some items, Pavlock said. Child Protective Services took Beny's adopted son into state custody when Berry was arrested, Pavlock said. Police say they are early in their investigation and prom- ised that any information from potential victims would be confidential. "We are exhausting all of our re- sources to ensure that the public is Berry safe," Pavlock - said. Berry, who works at a secu- rity company, could not be reached for comment. However, his longtime friend Patti Tinsley said she has entrusted her 12- and 8- year-old children to Berry ma- ny times over the six years she has known him and that her children have never com- plained. Tinsley said Berry often had neighborhood children at his house and entertained them with high-tech toys to help so- cialize his son, adopted at age 10. "He's probably the nicest, most upstanding guy I have ever known," she said. "He is like the one person I know that I would trust my kids with." Anyone with information is asked to call 817-685-1500.
