Red Mountain Ranch News & Events

Various law enforcement agencies utilized Red Mountain Ranch over the Labor Day Weekend to stage a DUI checkpoint. Earlier this year, the Red Mountain Ranch Board of Directors gave approval to the DUI Task Force to use the east entrance on Redmont Drive to stage vehicles and the portable sobriety testing station. Arizona Department of Public Safety, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department, City of Mesa and even Town of Gilbert all participated in the event.

Several residents complained of the blockade of the Redmont Drive entrance but also agreed that it was necessary to prevent any potentially drunk drivers from taking a detour through Red Mountain Ranch in order to avoid law enforcement.

Any residents who have any additional comments or suggestions should contact the management office of Red Mountain Ranch.

Here are several photos from the event:

Some time late Sunday night or early Monday morning, someone broke into Las Sendas Spine Institute located in the Zahara complex.

Apparently, the perpetrator(s) broke in through the glass of the front door. Once inside, they ripped a flat screen television/monitor from the wall. We are unaware if any other items were stolen.

Residents of Red Mountain Ranch are urged to be vigilant of thieves and vandals. Should you see someone engaged in strange or illegal activity, please call 911.

Vandals have struck again at the building located on the northeast corner of Thomas Road and Raftriver Road. The incident occurred some time late Friday night or early Saturday morning.

The newly constructed building owned by ECSD, LLC, was tagged near the roof and a property wall located on the north side of the building. The owner of the building, Martin J. Maslonka, is a resident of Red Mountain Ranch.

It appears the perpetrator(s) climbed up on the roof of the building to spraypaint words directed at a local resident “Zach Weber.” The words are vulgar but we have provided photos here.

If you know anything about the incident or who may have perpetrated the act, please contact Mesa Police Department at (480) 644-2211.

Act such as these will affect your property value. It is in every resident’s best interest to watch closely for activities like this and report them immediately.

Sometime within the last 48 hours (Sunday-Monday – Memorial Day Weekend),  The Villages were “tagged” by vandal(s) who spray painted the text, ”EMG 187″ on two walls.

One of the damaged walls is on the south side of Tabor Street at the corner of Raftriver. The other wall is on Snowdon between Saddleback and Gallatin (east side).

According to an anonymous observer, a dark green or dark blue sedan was seen parked along Snowdon near the damaged wall approximately 10 PM on Sunday May 24th. Two caucasian males were also seen loitering by the vehicle. Both had shaved heads and were in their late teens or early 20’s.

It is not known what the words “EMG 187″ actually represents, but the numbers “187′ is police code for “homicide.” “EMG” may stand for “East Mesa Gang.”

Anyone who sees any gang activity or acts of vandalism is urged to call the Mesa Police Department at (480) 644-2211 or if an emergency, dial 911.

You are also asked to email your observations or photos to rmroa@msn.com.

Homeowners of the damaged walls need to know that these walls are not considered common area and are the legal responsibility of the homeowner.
