Distraction Crimes
Seniors have been the target for distraction crimes in
the Mesa area in the last few months. Subjects are posing as Mesa city
workers and approaching seniors in their home. The way the crime works
is that one of the subjects draws the senior outside to discuss their
water meter, the alleyway, or some other issue. While the senior is
outside, another subject enters the senior's home to commit a burglary.
You can help prevent this crime in the following ways:
-
Always ask for identification when someone
approaches you at home. If you're in doubt, call their office to
verify that they are City employees.
-
If you go outside with someone, lock your doors and
windows -- don't give them an easy opportunity to enter your home.
