Keep Grayhawk Safe

Over the past few weeks we have received reports of kids banging on doors, ringing doorbells and damaging property. This is occurring primarily late at night or early in the morning. They are waking up children, scaring people who live alone and generally causing a disturbance for neighbors. In addition to being an annoyance, this type of behavior could also endanger the pranksters should they knock on the wrong door. Please talk to your kids about not engaging in this type of behavior.
