Dallas residents have raised concerns again about attempted break-ins after a local posted a video of one such incident on the Ring Neighborhood app.
This resident, who lives near the Oak Lawn area in Dallas, posted a video earlier in the week to highlight the issues, writing that a man “Tried to break into my house and took photos of all of my mail.”
The original poster of this comment did not include a video of the incident, but there is a screenshot of the alleged criminal.
One resident responded that they experienced something similar, but remaining vigilant may have helped them avoid a potential crime.
“Yikes. I think this guy banged on my door a few days ago. I never answer to anyone I’m not expecting (same general area).”
Similarly, two more residents responded to support the original poster and said they would keep an eye out for the man pictured in the post.
“I’ve seen this man around this area a few times,” wrote a resident.
“I just saw him on the corner of Lemon and Oak Grove Ave across from the Pancake House! I sent you a message on Nextdoor,” another user on the app responded.
While there has been no update on whether police have handled this issue, there is seemingly no shortage of neighbors willing to assist in the event of an incident.
These issues have persisted throughout Dallas in recent months, with many residents raising concerns about the lack of police response to the seemingly increase in crime.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Dallas residents continue to voice concerns about increased crime, as shown in the Ring Neighborhood app.
These posts included concerns about other attempted break-ins, porch pirates, and vehicle robberies.
Despite residents’ concerns, crime in Dallas remains high, especially compared to similar crime rates throughout Fort Worth. The Metroplex Civic & Business Association released a study in April comparing the two cities based on March 2025 statistics. The study concluded that Downtown Dallas has a crime score seven times higher than Downtown Fort Worth.
