Some criminals are walking around vehicles with a cell phone in hand, acting like they are talking to someone and using the light on their phone to look for property in their car to steal. Look for strange vehicles driving through the neighborhood or sitting in front of the house with their engine running. |
The key to prevent crimes, home burglaries, rape, robberies and vehicle theft in a community is if people are aware of what is going on with suspicious activities. They are the eyes and ears, they live there 24 hours, seven days a week, and they know what is normal and not normal. |
When we have the person on the line, we will ask for more information of the vehicle, what does it look like, what direction is it moving, how many suspects are in the car. They can remain Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous and at no point will we identify the person that called. We may ask for a name and phone number to get more follow-up information. |
