On Thursday night, October 23rd at 9:22pm, one of our community members witnessed Black BMX X3 driving very fast and erratically in our neighborhood. Driver was described as a male between 20 and 30 years of age, dark complexion.
Said car and driver were seen traveling down Neuse Ridge from the direction of the front of the neighborhood, executed a fast u-turn on Hein and sped (very fast) back toward the front of the neighborhood on Neuse Ridge. Estimated speed is said to exceed 50 mph. 911 was called while said car and driver returned down Hein to exit the back on the neighborhood and could be heard accelerating down Vinson and possibly back down Glen Laural.
Officer Melissa Phillips of Clayton PD responded but was unable to locate the person or vehicle in question. Officer Phillips remained in the area for over 2 hours without any further sighting.
The caller provided a detailed description of the car - but no license plate information - so the description was passed onto the rest of the traffic unit and the patrol division to see if we can locate the vehicle and speak with the registered owner to determine who is driving it in such a careless manner.
If anyone from the neighborhood sees the car parked in a driveway please have them get the plate and pass it on to your Neighborhood Watch representative which includes your Block Captain, Sector Leader or Watch Commander.
