Resident Daniel Waggoner said he has noticed suspicious ACTIVITY recently.

He said a truck has been parked outside of a building at the complex lately.

“A couple of guys were WALKING through the neighborhood and I'm walking my dog, like I am now, and I heard them say to get a flashlight and take a look in this truck,” Waggoner said. “I was like, ‘Hey guys,' and saw me with the dog and sped off at about 60 miles an hour."
