Dear Keys Residents,
Some owners have expressed concern over teenagers who have been
fishing in the retention pond. Several owners have spoken to the
youngsters asking them cease fishing with negative results.
Police Chief Bailey has been contacted about this matter. This is his
counsel and advice regarding this issue:
Minors under the age of 18 cannot be arrested for misdemeanors such as
fishing on private property under North Carolina law.
The police do take these matters seriously, however. For this reason, Chief
Bailey urges residents to call the police department @ 910 452 6120 before
5:00 and 911 after 5:00 if a resident sees an individual fishing in the pond.
The chief urges residents not to engage with the minors.
The HOA is in the process of getting new NO TRESPASSING signs from
the police department.
The Keys HOA Board
