Suspicious Activity Overlook MHH Road

Good Afternoon Fellow Neighbors!

I'm Patricia Vanek, Overlook Neighborhood Watch Coordinator

According to Officer Dendy the Police Helo was in Huntersville & came to help. Police investigated but no arrests. This event took place 2/4/08.

Tom our President received the information from a Chastain Board Member. Thank you!

I wanted to let you know I called the police today because of 2 black males who were on Overlook's property. They were walking in front of the neighborhood sign area going towards Walmart. They turned around when they reached the end of the 1st sign and entered the property just to the right of the sign. I could see one set of feet. The other male disappeared out of sight.

About 2 minutes after they went into the bushes/trees, I heard what sounded like a small caliber gun shot. About one minute later, the males exited the property and went down Mt. Holly-Huntersville Rd. towards Chastain.

I never saw the police respond to my call (the "gun shot" happened while I was talking to a dispatcher). Shortly after that, a Char-Meck police helicopter was circling Chastain for about 20 minutes. I called the police dept. to find out why and they said there was a suspicious person reported in our neighborhood (black with dredlocks).

Not that it will help much, but here is a description of the two males:

Both were in their mid to late teens, one about 4 inches shorter than the other one. The taller male was dressed in a black jacket, orange shirt, black pants with white writing down the outside of the right leg, and he had a doo (spelling?) rag on.

The shorter male was dressed in a black jacket, black pants with a red strip around the knee area (approx. 1" in diameter) on both legs, and black doo rag.I hope nothing happened.
