FROM FEBRUARY 9---THROUGH JUNE 2----OUR COMMUNITY SUFFERED SOME DARK DAYS!During this period, there were 20 recorded home burglaries. Some of the intrusions resulted in significant irreplaceable property losses, to several of our most senior residents.
In all probability, these crimes will go unsolved into the history book of the Fairways.
The investigations involved many facets of law enforcement. Some residents came forward with tips and possible related information. In one instance a possible clue--a cigarette lighter--was thought to have been lost,under a home by the burglars. The lighter was carefully preserved and given to the lead detective.
There was much other information passed to authorities.----There were names given to OCSO of known PAST trouble makers that have frequented the Fairways over past years. It is also known that some'' people of interest'' ----have left our immediate area,--during the first part of June!
It seems that the crimes could have been committed by different thieves----some were under the house entries--others by breaking in through doors and windows.
Regardless---the severe crime issue had a devastating effect on the morale of our community. It seemed that HTA had difficulty, waking up and realizing the gravity of the situation until we reached the unbelievable number of 20 crimes. Only after this and a negative TV story,---then HTA did what they should have done much earlier.----A contracted agreement was made with Orange County and the OCSO. Fully equipped sheriff deputies were hired to patrol at all odd hours in the Fairways. Almost immediately ,the burglaries stopped. The hired deputies were readily seen all over the community.
SINCE THE PRESENCE OF THE DEPUTIES---WAS NOTED---PEACE AND TRANQUILITY HAS PREVAILED!
Some positive thoughts about our current status----This whole lurid mess brought our community together on some security issues. There have been many alarm systems purchased,--as well as privately owned security cameras. Residents are leaving more lights on and most importantly---THEY ARE WATCHING AND COMMUNICATING!
At our planned NATIONAL NIGHT OUT ON OCTOBER 6,--We will be seeking more ''observers'' for our 8 security zones.
PLEASE FOLKS----LET SOME SUNSHINE IN !
