The deputy noted extra visible presence at Walmart on Black Friday to deter theft and said there were no reported thefts or stolen vehicles during the month. The deputy also told the council that deputies will conduct targeted enforcement in Wood Village this Friday focusing on traffic violations and livability issues.
