🚨 COMMUNITY NOTICE: Regarding Reports of a Suspicious Gray Van 🚨

The Kenedy Police Department and the Karnes County Sheriff’s Office have received numerous calls regarding a "suspicious gray van" operating in local neighborhoods. We want to reassure the community that there is no cause for alarm. They have been issued a proper permit by the City of Kenedy.

Our officers have made contact with the occupants of the vehicle several times as the calls come in. The van belongs to representatives from Kirby Vacuums, who are legally soliciting business in the area. “KIRBY VACUUMS” will also be displayed on the side on the van.

We are incredibly grateful to our residents for remaining vigilant and quickly reporting suspicious activity. Thank you for keeping our community safe!

Have a safe night and a great weekend.

Stay safe karnes county!
