Driving Park neighborhood question

[Tove Fox]

Hi everyone,

I am currently looking at a property in the Driving Park area between Livingston and Whittier, north of the Southside.  When I walked it, the empty property looked well taken care of, but when a contractor arrived to walk the property this morning, it was surrounded by police officers.  The cops said it was due to a teenager climbing in through an open window and was eating donuts in the kitchen.  Does this sound right?? Where I'm from police would not surround a property for something so minor.  Can anyone share thoughts of the area?  I know it's on the border, but seems close enough to the hospital and other areas, that it seems fine to me, especially it seeming to be a nice property itself. 

Thanks for any input!
