Residents at two swanky North Carolina communities have sounded the alarm over alleged trespassers taking over their pools, claiming that their homeowners associations (HOA) are not doing enough to stop the rowdiness.
The complaints have emerged at Edge of Auburn in Garner and Trace at Olde Towne in nearby Raleigh, with residents saying they have become afraid to use their amenities funded through hefty HOA dues.
Dramatic footage from one of the pool areas showed a spat between residents and nonresidents, WRAL reported.
It was not clear how or why the confrontation started, but homeowners described how it embodied the tension inside the placid communities.
Ben Myer, who lives at the Edge of Auburn, said his 'beautiful community' was now seeing parties of 'between 20 and 50 teens' on what seemed like a weekly basis without an apparent solution in sight.
'We're paying for a pool, we're paying for a basketball court, beautiful development, walking trails and people are scared out of using it,' Myer told the outlet.
A separate video shot by a Ring doorbell camera showed a group of about 20 people showing up to an unauthorized gathering.
The crowd walked calmly in the middle of the street and chatted among themselves before allegedly partying.
The alleged trespassing has caused police to be called to both communities repeatedly throughout the last year and a half.
In one call, law enforcement reported that 'it's going to be 20 people that jumped the fence to get into the pool area,' according to audio captured by the outlet.
Another call from police said that 'there are multiple juveniles that are trying to get into the closed clubhouse for a party.'

The Amish at it again
I see stuff like this and understand why years ago certain laws were in place
Feral
Put soap in your and they’ll go nowhere near it
I had a Somali walk into my mostly Jewish gated community in Scottsdale.
She was escorted out by police in 15 min.
Scottsdale police are pretty good!
You can enter the locked area without an electronic gizmo? Not good security. Pool monitors are more expensive, and not reliable.
By golly, but that’s a lot of folks to kick out at one time.
And now a word from Uncle Joe:
Article says they climb over the fence.
Didn’t need to look to know who the ‘teens’ were. HOA’s hands are tied because of ‘racism’.
Not surrendering your pool is racist.
Annoying people.
"Teens" in other words.
“You can enter the locked area without an electronic gizmo? Not good security. “
Reading the article. They jumped the fence.
HOA’s are communities, not prisons.
Ok, lock the clubhouse and drain the pool. end of problem, well for while and you cant swim.
The cruise ship fiascos, the street take overs, the flash mobbing stores, trashing AirBB rentals, random assaults, general entitlement attitudes….
I wonder when and in what form will push back emerge?
Why did I not know what they looked like? (sarcasm)
The article says they are climbing the fence.
They need some old coot who will die in a year to kill a few.
