On the Security Scene

Solicitation

On October 4, a Patrol Officer responded to a vendor taping flyers and their business cards on residential mailboxes.

A fine was issued, and their RFID temporarily suspended.

Suspicious Vehicle

On October 2, a Patrol Officer responded to Hasleiter’s Retreat for a vehicle parked in front of a neighbor’s home who were on vacation. Upon the Officer’s arrival, the vehicle had departed. A search of the immediate area was conducted, but no unusual or suspicious vehicles were found. No other reports were received.

Open Fires

On September 30, a Patrol Officer responded to Romerly Road regarding a possible open fire. Upon arrival, it was determined the fire was in an approved fire pit.

The fire reported last week at the Evergreen yard was contained and eventually extinguished without incident.

Unlicensed Golf Cart Driver
