Community Report: Possible Surveillance in Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Possible Surveillance reported through the CWT Suspicious Activity Reporting line. Incident date: 2026-10-18 around 11:39. Reported location: Church Foyer and Sanctuary, Lake Havasu City, Arizona. A safety team member at a Baptist congregation reported that a man and a woman arrived on a motorcycle about 40 minutes after the 11:00 service began and sat in the sanctuary for roughly the last 15 minutes. After the service they remained in the foyer for about 20 minutes, took a selfie in front of a wall-mounted mission statement, and asked a deacon about the church's other campuses and attendance at each, staying until seven or eight people remained in the building. The woman stated she had attended before and knew one of the pastors; team members did not recognize her, and the pastor she named left the church more than a year ago. As they departed, the man mounted a cell phone in a holder on the motorcycle and appeared to be recording the front of the church, though this was not confirmed. Both adults were described as approximately 40 years old, wearing dark shirts and jeans, and appearing to be of Middle Eastern descent. The man was described as about 6'0" and 180 lbs with a beard and mustache, carrying a black fanny pack on his right hip. Vehicle: black Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle with a Nevada plate the reporter believed to be expired. Law enforcement was not contacted. Reporter assessed confidence as medium and observed the activity first-hand. Reader-submitted report. Details reflect the observer's account and have not been independently verified. No criminal conduct is alleged.
