Q: Why does the Winston-Salem Police Department not enforce a group of 30 to 40 young people on dirt bikes and four-wheelers every weekend repeatedly on University Parkway and Hanes Mill Road harassing traffic by going all over the place and in between cars? Itâs illegal and a danger to traffic and themselves.
J.J.
Answer: The Winston-Salem Police Department has made arrests in these cases, said Lt. Todd Hart, the departmentâs public information officer.

Heidi Bublitz wasnât happy. Not one bit.
The incessant ring of the cellphone that woke her earlier than sheâd intended started the downward slide. The news delivered by one of her employees immediately made it worse.
Someone had ripped off an early-morning delivery worth some $3,000 left on pallets behind her store, Wild Birds Unlimited on Hanes Mall Boulevard.
An array of decorative bird houses, feeders, seed and supplies for nature lovers had vanished into the early-morning ether.
What happened next, though, is what really ruined the rest of the day.
Feeling blown off by police, Bublitz and some friends did their own investigating. They tracked down the stolen goods themselves and arranged a meeting to buy some of it back.
