I have been talking with a board member of another neighborhood similar to ours in the area. He informed me that there were more break-ins last night in another neighborhood near Lexington Hills.
Farming Creek (near the intersection of Old Cherokee Rd and St. Peters Church Rd) was hit last night by thieves. It was the same method of operation that occurred in our neighborhoods. Small items were stolen, and several cars/truck windows were broken. There is also word that a couple of homes were broken into as well but they're for sale with no one living in them.
Also a neighbor in Hope Ferry Plantation reported that her dog woke her up around 4:30 A.M. this morning and she saw a pickup truck with two white males (one with a red ball cap) stopped in front of a house. The
truck moved forward and stopped in front of another house before driving out of sight. The e-mail didn't say if the police were called.
An officer with Lexington County said that vehicle break-ins are the biggest crime in Lexington and suspicious activity like our resident saw was worthy of a 911 call. He said the belief among local police and sheriff's departments is that the group doing the break-ins is from Georgia. They operate in an organized fashion with a vehicle and several thieves. The vehicle stops while the thieves do their job, load up, drive a little farther, repeat process.
I would like to remind everyone to make sure you remove all valuables from plain sight and report any suspicious activity to the police.
If you have any further information about the thieves, break-ins or vandalism, please let us know.
The way I look at this If the POA is going to start a crime watch why do the poa contact LCSD and set up a saftey officer for this . I mean we do pay fees and things for maintence . its hard to get approval for privacy fence. I think the county needs to step it up with there own program, not just a "crime watch " From a POA . I just dont feel like they are doing there jobs to the best of there abillity
