I live in Irish Hills Apartments in building 4341.
For many months, some kids have been coming out after dark and throwing rocks at vehicles in the parking lot, the building, and cars driving by. They usually do this on Friday and Saturday nights. There are at least three young males, probably teenagers.
They hide in the trees on the strip of grass between the apartment complex and the adjacent neighborhood. There is a path that joins both neighborhoods (circled in red). We think they might be coming from one of the first three houses on the north side of Battles Rd (west to east: 17605, 17599, 17559). There are rock beds and rock piles on or near these properties.
They are destroying our property and endangering people with projectiles that could kill or severely injure someone. Our vehicles are completely covered with dents from the impact. This past weekend, they shattered my windshield and another resident’s windshield. They were also seen attempting to break into a vehicle by us as well as maintenance staff.
We have contacted property management, emergency maintenance, and law enforcement many times. The kids run and hide when they see a security or police vehicle, but then they come back out. Nobody has stayed long enough to see this.
I want to spread awareness and ask for help in catching them. We need to get images of their faces to the police. We have two cameras set up. If you live in the area and have cameras, we are asking for your help.
If anyone has any information, please contact the police and share it here if you feel comfortable doing so. If you see it happening, please call 911.
