Good morning Laz Mo,
I am a resident of the area, and I couldn’t agree more. We have had an influx of new people that are guest of the Runway Inn Miami Airport Hotel roaming the neighborhood. These guests are using our yard as toilet, breaking into cars, vandalizing property, using East Drive as their personal race track to race down the street at 60 mph, stealing mail, dumping their fast-food trash in the gutter, sleeping in cars, making drug deals on the street in broad daylight, prostitution / solicitation and drive by shootings – As I am sure you know not the first shooting.
There is such an atmosphere of insecurity and fear in the entire area because of the type of business the Being conducted, that no resident dares to go out after the dark, not to mention that our children’s mental health and well-being is being compromised. I urge you to contact the local authorities (I have done so) and ask that they look into and address the situation.
A task force must be formed with the assistance of MDPD due to MSPD manpower to start doing surveillance on these motels once this gets started believe me these people will go to someplace else for the meantime. It shows that we are doing something.
Something needs to be coordinated before it gets worst. Only a suggestion.
