## Summary

Residents in southwest Ohio say the growth of Uzbek communities and trucking businesses has contributed to safety concerns and tension in their neighbourhoods. Their accounts, featured in the third part of a series on trucking fraud and road safety, include allegations of disruptive behaviour and unsafe trucking operations; these are residents’ claims, not findings established in the article.

A woman identified by a pseudonym said repeated incidents involving children, neighbours and parked lorries led her family to leave their home after 18 months, and that she contacted police around 20 times or more. In nearby Middletown, an abandoned former restaurant was registered as the headquarters of UAG Express, which had more than two dozen reported violations, including for vehicle maintenance and unsafe driving; the company did not respond to a request for comment. At a 4 November meeting, dozens of Hamilton Township residents raised concerns, though the supplied article text ends before describing the discussion.
