Individuals in the area of Verwood Apartments may see an increase of police presence after various reports of skateboarders trespassing.
According to Irene Nowak, of Verwood Apartments, children are skateboarding on top of their carport even though a ‘No Trespassing? sign is displayed.
‘We are very concerned that one of these boys could be seriously hurt,? she said.
Nowak spoke to village council last week about her safety concerns and asking what she and her husband can do to prevent the skateboarding from continuing to occur on her property.
‘This is an obvious and clear case of trespassing, and may even involve malicious damage or mischief,? said Lake Orion Police Chief Jerry Narsh.
Narsh asked that the tenants do not yell at the individuals, but immediately call dispatch when they see the violation occur.
‘The police department will enforce these at any time subjects are located on, or identified as being involved with, this activity,? he added.
To contact the dispatch center, call (248)693-8321.
