4…..(Vandalism/Harassment) On the 2500 block of Woodacre Ln there is an ONGOING situation where one of the residents has been constantly harassed by someone who periodically has been throwing food products on the resident’s driveway. This started out with eggs, then salami, then meat partially out of the wrappings. A next-door neighbor recently found a half-eaten apple in their driveway. This resident is concerned that the person doing this harassment is mentally ill and could escalate this situation. At this time the perpetrator has not been identified. The Lincoln Police and our Private Security have been notified and police reports have been made. Anyone with additional information should contact the Lincoln Police!!

5…..(Theft) On Friday, 1/29/21, an Amazon package was stolen from the front porch of a home on the golf course side of the 1100 block Overland Ln. It was delivered at 5:15 pm and was gone at 5:45 pm. Later that afternoon the next-door neighbor confronted a person walking between their houses. She was wearing a backpack and carrying a package. The woman stated that she was walking toward the fairway to meet her family. She continued on and it wasn’t until a couple of days later that neighbors spoke and figured out it was most likely this person. Suspect description: Middle-aged white female about 5′ 4″ with brown hair wearing a backpack and a hat.
