Report from a neighbor on Ridgeside: About 6:28 am on Thursday morning, pulling out of my driveway there was a black car (2018 Hyundai Elantra, license plate KGP7680) parked across the street from my house, facing Jesuit with his fog lights on. I could see his face and could tell it was a Black man with dreadlocks approximately shoulder/ear length. He was intentionally crouching in an effort to hide from me. I pulled to the end of our cul-de-sac and waited for him while I called my husband and texted Neighborhood Patrol. He turned around, drove down Ridgeside towards Welch and stopped again. He had his fog lights on. I pulled behind him and when I called to report the license plate number he turned north on Welch and then right on Ellensburg. I stopped following him at that point, but when my husband arrived home about 15 minutes later he was parked in the middle of the street and waiting. He stayed there for a while. Then he pulled to the end of our street at Drujon and parked again but sideways and stayed there until about 7:30 am. I did go back and check my cameras. It does appear that there was a driver in the 4 o’clock hour. He appeared to be alone. SENP Update: We had our SENP DPD coordinator run the license plate and the car isn’t registered to this neighborhood. We don’t know if this person was waiting for someone to come out and was picking them up or just up to no good. We decided it was appropriate to send out this warning.
