White lives near the intersection of Airline Blvd. and Greenwood Dr., where the video was taken.
“I’m just concerned that they could come through one of the fences and hit one of my neighbors’ houses. I just thank God it hasn’t happened and pray that it stops to happen,” White said.
On Dec. 22, Portsmouth Police responded to the intersection of Garwood Ave. and Elmhurst Ln. for similar activity.
