612. 612. Good afternoon. When you get rolling, I got a suspicious person, Newberg and Napier, neighbor and Newburgh. It's an anonymous caller, so there's a male black parked and a white BMW in the alley. I guess he parked the car there and got out and started walking back and forth. If he's scoping the area out, he's where I like gray hoodie and blue pants, nothing further. Careful.
