Between 4:00 P.M. and 4:28 P.M. a Caucasian man in a green shirt, cream-colored pants driving a bright yellow pick up truck pulled up to a person near their residence. The individual claimed he was selling discounted steaks and gave the impression he was talking on the cell phone at the same time. Individual also asked if anyone was at the resident’s home during the day.

Home resident noticed the website DirectUSA.com on a brochure the man was holding. A subsequent search of that site revealed an unrelated dormant website. Further search of Direct USA revealed numerous fraud complaints related to their products and practices.

Individuals are cautioned not to purchase any products from this company and are encouraged to call the police if they suspect fraud or feel threatened. Question to ask – Why would you by meat off the back of a truck?

Also, contact your city Attorney’s Office about this fraud.

Do not answer any questions asking if you are home during the day or personal questions about yourself. Actually, don’t answer any of their questions.

On 02/10/2009 at 1530 hours, a masked suspect entered the BB&T Bank which is located in the Chimney Hill Shopping Center on Holland Road near S. Rosemont Road and walked immediately to one of the teller windows. After realizing the tellers were protected by bullet resistant safety glass which separates them from the lobby. The suspect motioned for the tellers to send him money through the teller window, after receiving money, the suspect walked out of the bank and fled through the parking lot toward the Farm Fresh on foot.

The suspect was described as a black male, unknown age, 5’5”-5’6”, 115-120 lbs. He was wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans, gray sneakers, a dark toboggan, sunglasses and a black mask. He was carrying a duffle or similar backpack style bag.

The Pines Apartments, 1302 Pine Cone Circle Virginia Beach, VA 23456, owned by Great Atlantic Management is unresponsive to maintenance needs and tenant complaints. Concerned citizens may want to avoid The Pines apartments or any other apartments owned by Great Atlantic Management if they will be residing in Hampton Roads. Navy personnel are encouraged to stay away from The Pines especially if they are sea going and their spouse will be residing in Virginia Beach.

A few reasons to avoid The Pines include mice in the apartments and loud noise. The smell is horrible when the mice die and the Pines apartment office does very little to correct obvious health hazards. The maintenance is poor and most fixes are short term in nature even though they would save money and man-hours if they were to make permanent long-term fixes to problems such as water leaks. 

If you do live in The Pines apartments and office personnel do not assist you, try contacting Great Atlantic Management. Unfortunately, their management style is not great so you can be sure they won’t respond. You should contact them though since The Pines employees, including the office manager, work for them.

You should also contact Great Atlantic Management if The Pines apartment maintenance personnel are rude, unresponsive or do not fix the problem you’ve reported. Usually, if you do complain to The Pines office concerning poor or no maintenance, they will say that maintenance does not work for them and they cannot do anything. That is not true. If the office manager does not resolve the issue and the maintenance supervisor does not fix the problem, Great Atlantic Management should. In addition, contrary to what they may believe, the office manager is not the final authority.

Don’t hesitate to contact Virginia Beach City Attorney’s Office to seek assistance in filing a complaint against The Pines apartments. If they can’t help you directly, they may be able to point you in the right direction. Either way, you’ll usually get a response from the Virginia Beach Attorney’s Office – they seem to care.

In the Landstown Lakes area, be aware of a dark green vehicle, 4 doors, with license plate KLT-7047. It is believed that this vehicle, with about 5 people, has been used to steal in the Landstown Lakes area.

If you see this car please contact the police.

On the night of November 7th or early morning of the 8th someone put a note on my daughter’s car which was parked in our driveway.  My granddaughter saw the note and brought it inside.  Although I can not print what the note said, I can say that it was extremely sexually graphic. We called the police and they came out.  Before they came out, my son talked to the suspect, who lives directly across the street in the 1800 blk of Bloomfield Drive and is in his early twenties to ask if he had put the note there.

We asked him this because my son saw the same type of paper that it was written on inside his truck. He denied it but when the police came out he admitted to them that he had in fact put the note there.  Upon talking to another neighbor, who was present when the police were here, it was discovered that he has previously placed sexually graphic notes on two other cars directed toward underage females. One of these times was caught on tape. 

If something of this nature has occurred to anybody else in the neighborhood, we would appreciate letting us or the police know.  The police said he did not break any laws doing this and they could not bring any charges against him.  But, if it can be established that this has happened more times, it is possible for charges to be brought against him.  I for one do not desire this type of individual living in our neighborhood. 

I talked to the father by phone on the same day it happened while he was out of town working. He has been back in town for over a week and has yet to even acknowledge that this happened or try to talk to us.  I still see the suspect around there at different times.  This incident has created a feeling of being unsafe for my daughter and concern for my 13 year old granddaughter, as well as for any other females in the neighborhood.  We are in the process of seeing what legal action can be taken.  Once again, if anything of this nature has occurred at your household, please, contact us or the police so that the police may follow-up.

If you have anymore information regarding this individual no matter how small, please contact the police. This individual will continue to do these perverted acts and progress to even more disturbing acts as time goes by.

It shall be unlawful and shall constitute contempt of court for any person to harbor or conceal any animal which has been ordered disposed of or removed by the General District Court, or to fail to confine or restrain an animal when such an order has been entered by the court.

City code prohibits any owner or person in control of a dog to allow the dog to urinate or defecate on public or private property. It does not constitute a violation on public property if the owner or custodian immediately removes the material defecated and disposes of it in a safe and sanitary manner.
