Neighbors tell KRDO they're worried for their safety.
“Honestly, I’m ready to just pack up and move out. I have three kids and it’s hard for me to even let them go outside and ride their bikes or play anymore just because I don’t know what’s gonna happen," said Rachel Cekis. “All out through the hours of the night we have people walking back and forth and riding bikes and, you know, people just standing out here obviously what appears to be a drug deal.”
Rachel, and another parent we spoke with who didn't want to go on camera, said they hope police come around more often now.
“I just wish that they would do a little more patrolling so they could see what’s really going on," Cekis said.
