The Meadows Of Sonterra Neighbors

I wanted to let the community know about a very disturbing event that happened earlier this morning. 

On August 4th at 1:30 am a group of fifteen boys (4 vehicles) between the ages of 17-20 enaged in a fight in the Catlin Ct culdesac (adjacent to where the new playground construction). 

Several of the boys proceeded to beat on one particular boy while yelling profanity at him;  the boys who were not physically involved in the fight were videorecording the event on their cell phones and laughing.  They also used the new concrete path to loiter around the new recreation facility lots. 

I called SAPD but the boys saw the police when they were on Promintory Circle and left before the police arrived at the site.  Several boys went to hide among the homes on Catlin Ct and returned to their

It was dark and I wasn't able to identify the exact make and model of the vehicles much less jot down the license plate numbers, but this is the information that I was able to get.

There were 15 boys (ages 17-20)

There were 4 vehicles: a late model Silver Chrysler, Red hatchback, black civic, blue/black small SUV l(possible license plate number 8MGN33)

If any of these vehicles sound familiar please discuss the situation with your sons.  I am also concerned for the boy that was the victim.

This is NOT the first incident on this culdesac!  Perhaps we need additional COP security/surveillance down this area.

Thank you for reporting this incident. It is very serious and similar to an ovvurence several weeks ago near the pool / pavilion area. You were correct in notifying SAPD.

Our HOA Security Committee and COP volunteers can watch the neighborhood on our patrols. However, please realize they are not Law Enforcement officials and can only report instances such as you witnessed. They cannot interven or apprehend individuals. Further, we unfortunately lack sufficient volunteers (in spite of numerous pleas for volunteers) to provide the level of coverage and surveillance required for a neighborhood of our size.

We appreciate your involvement and vigilance.

We appreciate residents keeping us informed of incidents in their area.  Cellular On Patrol (COP) is an all volunteer program to be the eyes and ears for the San Antonio Police Department.  When we see an incident we we call 311 however you may call 911 if the incident poses a threat to you or your property.   In the case reported I would say it warranted a 911 call. 

COP has continued to send out HOA e-mails for more volunteers.  We do not patrol 24/7.  I encourage you to consider joining COP and help to patrol the community.  Patrol times are set by you the volunteer in accordance with your schedule.  We meet once a month (third Monday of the month) along with a SAPD Officer for approximately one hour. 

PLEASE consider joining  COP and talking to your neighbors to join.  It gives you a chance to get to know more residents in Promontory Pointe
