APD has been made aware of a post on social media stating that people in Amarillo are knocking on doors and claiming that they are testing for COVID-19. The post states that once the homeowner opens the door, they are robbed by the suspect. This is false, APD has not received reports of this happening in our city. As always, we suggest reaching out to your local police department when you see posts like this on social media rather than sharing and causing undue alarm in the community.
Even though this not happening locally, it is always good to practice personal safety at home. One of the easiest ways to keep your family and yourself safe is to lock your doors and not open them to strangers. We hope that everyone has a safe weekend.
