Drug Bust: Devon-Aire Villas #1 West 11/5/2015

Early this morning MDPD served a warrant on a tenant living at a home located on the corner of SW 122nd PL & SW 109 LN.  They arrested the suspect once they arrived and found a marijuana grow room in their unit.  You can read more about the incident by Clicking Here.  The incident caused members living at that location all kinds of headaches trying to get to and from their homes.  This is the third such incident in our community in the last 5 years.  The Board of Directors has been reviewing options for the last few months due to incidents such as these to try and mitigate these problems in the future.  We hope to have some kind of workable policy sometime next year.  In the mean time, please be on the lookout for units which display the following behavior:

• Homes with a lot of guest traffic during the day and night for stays lasting only a few minutes.
• Blinds, shutters or other material on windows to block light.
• Finding drugs or drug paraphernalia in the area.
• Visible and repeated exchanges of items in the open including exchanges of money.
• Musty or other foul odors coming from a home.

If you suspect a unit may be engaging in illegal activity, please do not ignore it.  Please call Miami Dade Police at (305) 476-5423 and let them investigate.  By being proactive you can help the community prevent others crimes which inevitably follows this type of unwanted activity.
