Monthly Crime/Traffic Stats: August 2023

** Disturbance Loud Noise, again has become a problem in Huntwick **

During the month of August, I have received numerous calls regarding complaints about
our neighbors playing loud music or talking loudly late at night until early morning. This
negative behavior has affected our community by disturbing our sleep and preventing
us from focusing on our own families. While we all enjoy entertaining our loved ones, it
is important to consider our neighbors’ well-being. We kindly request that if your
gatherings go late into the night, please lower the volume or move the party indoors.
Let’s work together to be considerate of those around us. Thanking you in advance.

** For loose dogs (attacks or bites) please call Animal Control at: (281) 999-3191 x3.
