Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. If you are traveling this holiday season, Mooresville Police Department and K9 Axle want to remind you that MPD offers a Home Security Check program for Mooresville residents that is meant to be supplemental to your primary home security arrangements. "While you are away, MPD will check your residence on a random basis, looking for signs of suspicious activity, such as open doors, open or broken windows, unfamiliar cars, or other suspicious conditions. Any situation discovered by our officers that needs immediate attention will be addressed.
   House checks cannot exceed 14 days, must be submitted at least 10 days in advance, and homes MUST be inside town limits. Request a Home Security Check at http://mooresvillenc.gov/.../security_check_request.php" (Mooresville Police Department via Facebook)

• Mooresville Police Department: "Two drivers charged in recent fatal traffic accidents. On Saturday November 26, Mooresville Police Department Traffic Officers charged two subjects for their involvement in traffic crashes during October that resulted in fatalities. Traffic Officers conducted extensive investigations into both crashes and consulted with the Iredell County District Attorney’s Office to ensure the appropriate charges were obtained in both cases."
