San Diego Cops Recruit Neighborhood Watch Group In Effort To Put Kibosh On All-Night Bashes In Teen-Hijacked Vacant Foreclosures

In Encinitas, California, KGTV Channel 10 reports:

• The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is recruiting extra help in an effort to prevent all-night rave parties in foreclosed homes, 10News reported. In the Encinitas Ranch development, a neighborhood watch group is born, and coordinator Dick Stern knows exactly what he's watching for. "It was quite disturbing seeing those aftermath of the parties," said Stern. This past summer, authorities said a rash of foreclosures in the North County turned into party scenes as teen bashes left pricey homes damaged and trashed, often causing thousands of dollars in damage.
