Amboy uses bright idea to prevent crime

The light is being shined on neighbors in need in the Amboy community of North Little Rock, where lighting is being installed for elderly or invalid neighbors.

The Amboy Neighborhood Association said it has received a district grant from the Central Arkansas Planning and Development District to help purchase lights for more vulnerable neighbors in the area.

Association Vice President Jim Baker said the lights act as “a deterrent to crime and home break-ins.”

So far, 15 neighbors have been identified as “in need,” and the recipients have been informed about the installation.

The light installations will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
