Distraction Burglaries target the Valley and our great neighborhoods. Here are a few crime tips to avoid being burglarized by one of these suspects.
If you get one of these guys at your door and you have already opened the door: (You should always keep your door locked)...Remember C.A.R.D.I.A.C.
1. Check their ID and write their name. Keep a notepad with a pen near the front door, so that you don't give them an opening.
2. Ask questions, for example, what neighbor needs work, ask for a copy of the order, what is your neighbors name and number. Get a hold of your neighbor.
3. Refuse and Reschedule, in the interim call your neighbor to verify the information.
4. Dont let them in your house! What ever you do.
5. Information, gather as much of it as you can.
5. Always get a good suspect and vehicle description (license plate, make, model).
