I noticed a white SUV parked across the street from our home around 10:30 PM. Blacked out windows and a missing hubcap/rims from the front driver side. I stood there watching trying to figure out if someone was in the car forever. Another vehicle/blue truck pulled up and parked briefly during this time about 2 car lengths ahead of SUV, were there around 4 minutes then truck departs. The white vehicle remain dark, until maybe 5 minutes later I see a flicker of light coming from the very back of this vehicle inside and it goes out quickly. So knowing it wasn’t a worker from the house across the street on Ranger I call the non-emergency number and said I was a part of the Jan Drive neighborhood watch and report the vehicle and the suspicious goings on. Well I stood in our office for ½ hour and no response from the Sheriff’s office. I decided to go out and wait in our living room and keep an eye out. All of a sudden I have a helicopter overhead with their lights flooding this vehicle. I hadn’t given them a license plate number because I couldn’t see it, and no Sheriff officer/car ever pulled up but the helicopter circled with lights on the vehicle for a good 3-4 minutes, enough to get their attention. The helicopter flew off and all of a sudden the white SUV turns on their engine and lights, during which time I called back the dispatcher who said she was so sorry that the officers were having an extremely busy night. As she was chatting with me the SUV slowing drove on down Jan Drive and towards California. The helicopter is what worked the magic is letting them know they needed to move on. All I can say is my description must have been right on the mark because the light of the helicopter never went anywhere else, it was right on that white SUV the entire time. I thought the helicopter might land. So just beware once again of suspicious vehicles parking on park side and lottery late into the night hours.
