RUMOR regarding individuals selling children's books in Holland Twp.

Please be advised that the below message is going around Holland Township regarding individuals selling children books. The Holland Township Police Department is fully aware and it has been confirmed that the “abduction of children or robbery” is a RUMOR. It has been confirmed that individuals selling children books were properly issued solicitor permits in Milford Borough. Due to the Milford mailing address, these individuals were unaware that Holland Township is not part of Milford Borough.


RUMOR:
I received this from a close friend...Fwd: So I need to pass this on...Holland Township is on high alert for a couple that is casing homes. Authorities are suspecting abduction of children or robbery. It’s a young white girl selling books with a black man sitting in the back seat of her car. She is driving a silver Toyota Corrolla. She comes to your door and tries eagerly to get in with the book sale as her pitch. Do not let her in. Try to engage her and have someone call the police asap. They have already been to 2 families I know in the past few days. One in Milford on Fairview Ave and the other on Milford Mt Pleasant. Be careful. Keep your kids close and your doors locked.


Again there is no validity to the above statement. If you need to report a crime in Holland Township please call (908) 995-4670 or if it is an emergency dial 9-1-1.
