GreyHawk Landing searches for pool potty crew

A prank has led to an investigation at GreyHawk Landing.

On Oct. 31, video surveillance recorded eight individuals who defecated in the community's pool late at night.

That action cost the community $300 to have the pool, which is now open again, cleaned and community development district supervisors aren't laughing.

They are reaching out to the community to help identify the people who were recorded on video running from the scene. They said the people appear to be 18 to 21 years old.

"It's hard to see their faces, because they're running and that makes the video blurry," District Manager Greg Cox said.

"These people obviously have no respect for their community," CDD Chairman Ollie Kyte said. "Maybe they were drunk or something, but that's disgusting."

Kyte hopes that anyone in the community who has knowledge of such instances of vandalism make it known by posting it on the community's Facebook page.

If the vandals are caught, they will also appear before the CDD board.

Supervisors brainstormed other ideas for pool security besides the cameras already installed there.

"Maybe we can get some motion detector lights," Kyte said. "People who are up to no good don't want to be lit up. And it will help us see them on the video."

In other news, the CDD approved changing its no-parking, overnight policy.

Now, individuals who are parked on the street between 3 and 5:30 a.m., will be ticketed at the car owner's expense.

Signs posted throughout the community say no overnight parking, but which timeframe constitutes as "overnight" has been vague and not enforced.

"The issue has gotten worse recently," supervisor Jeffrey Evans said. "It goes back several years. Original guidelines say 1 a.m. meant "overnight," but that didn't work for people who were still at a party or visiting someone. This timeframe will help make sure everyone gets home first, and then we can zero in on chronic offenders rather than those who make a mistake."
