Suspicious Incident

Security responded to a residence on Franklin Court for a suspicious incident. The resident reported that her dog started barking at the door, but when she looked outside, no one was there. After walking away, she heard a noise that sounded like someone was turning the doorknob. Security performed a premise check and found nothing out of the ordinary.

On Tuesday, June 14, Security responded to a residence on Springpine Lane for a report of a suspicious incident. The resident advised that he locks the doors a certain way and leaves the door from the garage to the home unlocked. When he returned home, it seemed like someone had been in the home due to the way the door locks were found, and the garage door being locked. No items were missing from the residence. The resident had one suspect in mind; however, the video footage from the gates was reviewed and did not show the suspect's vehicle entering the community.
