Summary
Captain Moles said the sheriff’s office will begin posting monthly town-specific statistics for Indian Trail. He summarized November activity including 1,158 traffic citations, 105 citations for driving without a license and five reported vehicle thefts and urged residents to secure vehicles and packages.
Captain Moles, representing the Union County Sheriff’s Office, told the Town of Indian Trail council that the sheriff’s office will start publishing monthly town-level statistics, beginning with November’s report, to be posted on the town’s Facebook page.
"These numbers are gonna be going out on — hoping to always get them out the first week of the month," Captain Moles said, describing the report as a regular update for residents.
He summarized November enforcement and service activity in Indian Trail: 25 ABC inspections (13 resulted in verbal warnings; three required follow-up), 1,158 traffic citations with 725 formal charges and 433 warnings, two targeted speed enforcement events that generated about 30 citations, and 105 citations issued for drivers without a license. Captain Moles also said deputies handled roughly 4,318 calls for service and worked about 133 traffic accidents that month. He described five motor vehicles reported stolen in Indian Trail in November and said some stolen vehicles were recovered across the county line.
"Please lock your vehicles. Take your packages that you buy for Christmas inside," Captain Moles urged residents, citing a pattern during the holidays of cars left unlocked or packages left visible.
The captain also noted department community work: a beard fundraiser that raised about $7,000 for the Hometown Heroes charity and a multi‑truck toy delivery from a recent toy drive. He said the monthly town-level report was a new initiative and that the first set of numbers would be posted soon.
The council did not take action on the report; members thanked the sheriff’s office for its work. The town’s website and social channels are expected to carry the monthly snapshots going forward.
