NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — It has been a frustrating situation for residents at one apartment complex on the Peninsula, as residents at The Villages of Stoney Run said about 20 cars had their windows smashed in — and it’s not the first time they’ve seen trouble like this.
One resident, Antonio Knox, just bought this Dodge Charger not long ago. Now he’s getting the window replaced.“A bunch of delinquents had ransacked our cars and entered our cars unlawfully,” Knox said.Last year, his Hyundai was stolen from the same parking lot — a lot he said needs more security.“To get better lighting, to get more cameras surrounding the area, fence in the surrounding area,” Knox said.William Beagle, who just moved to the complex, was also hit. “It’s going to cost us, like, at least over $500 because our deductible was too high,” Beagle said.Beagle said he and others went to the front office to talk to the property manager after it happened Saturday morning.“Nothing she could really do,” Beagle said. “Upper management was definitely avoiding us. Apparently, they’ve run dry of funds, so they can’t give any reimbursement to any residents.”Beagle said nothing was taken from his car, and he thinks the suspects were looking for cash or guns. Now, both Knox and Beagle say they’re looking to get out.“It would be nice to get out of my lease, but personally, I mean, we’re just going to try to stick it out for the next 11 months,” Beagle said. “We’ve taken steps to have more protection for ourselves. After that, we’ll be moving to a house in the country.”
