Request for increased police presence in Northridge may have come just a little too late for one resident

At Monday night's City Council meeting, Mayor Grayson Vandegrift noted that the Versailles Police Department, which patrols all of Woodford County, had been asked to increase patrols in the Northridge Estates area of Midway due to reports of a suspicious vehicle that seemed to be prowling.

Later that night, someone broke into the car of Northridge resident Blake Jones, according to a post he made Tuesday morning on Residents of Northridge Estates, a closed Facebook group.

Magistrate Liles Taylor, a resident of the subdivision, posted on the site Tuesday afternoon that he and Vandegrift had spoken to the police about "the unfortunate increase in attempted burglaries and vandalism" in the area, seeking additional patrols. "They were extremely responsive and are processing that request. We should see an increased presence as early as tonight."

On Wednesday afternoon, Vandegrift posted on the site, "The police are actively working the case and are using all resources available, including going through camera footage available. If the perpetrators are reading this: You’re going to be caught."
