Follow-up From Utopia Annual General Meeting

As a result of various complaints expressed at the Annual Meeting, our Utopia Homeowners’ Security Board contacted the corporate offices of both FedEx and UPS regarding concerns about their delivery trucks speeding in our neighborhood.  Both companies were sympathetic to and understanding of the situation.

They advised and ordered the local Miami supervisors to specifically promise that they would instruct drivers making deliveries in our area to observe the speed limits and use extra caution on our narrow streets.

We believe this will somewhat alleviate the speeding we have been aware of for far too long.  Your Utopia Board working for you!

Another Super Fun Family Utopia Movie Night

Many thanks to the Utopia board members Jo-Ann Forster and

the snow cone truck and piles of pizza.
We are all grateful to them for making this night possible.
Many families joined us in the park for an evening of socializing,
movie watching, laughs and just plain fun.

Security Update & Alert

This is an update from our Lt. Lai regarding criminal activity around our area, she states:  “There have been several incidents in the deep Grove area in the last couple of weeks.  Most of the incidents have been in the areas surrounding Utopia.   They have occurred from Battersea, Main Highway, North Bay Home’s Drive, and the latest near Merrie Christmas Park.  The incidents include attempting to break into homes, actually breaking in, and breaking into numerous vehicles.  There are several video incidents with vehicles, it is clear to see a subject who walks up to every car door trying until he finds cars that are open.  There appears to be a group of individuals targeting the area.  Although the individuals doing the home break-ins appear to be different from the person involved with the cars.  There was an incident a day ago on Malaga, in our area, where someone went onto the property but did not go into the home.  We still classify that as a burglary.  On a side note, I also stopped an individual who was walking around taking pictures who was staying at an Air B&B.  You have a few people within Utopia renting out their properties.  Please be aware of this within your area as it brings a lot more transient people”.
 Lt. Lai reminds us to lock our vehicles, use alarms and report any suspicious activity.  Our patrol’s presence continues to deter, however this rash of activity right on our border is looking to be a problem, so stay vigilant and know that our officers are keenly aware of this up tick in criminal activity.
