The following was received from a lifetime resident neighbor in the 3000 Block of 22nd Street. Be aware and be safe!
Wanted to let you know in case you have not heard our house was burglarized on Friday the 18th. Young man knocked on front door (neighbor saw young Hispanic male) and turned to speak to someone driving a white Escalade or similar vehicle when no one answered. They then proceeded to try to kick in my kitchen and rear entry doors. There were shoe prints on the doors. When they couldn't get in they broke out my bedroom window.
Thought you might be able to let the UNIT people know. The officer said the same description of the vehicle was given in 2 other attempted home invasions over a 2 day period. I would love for these guys to be caught, but I also don't want anyone else to have to go through what I have had to go through!
The students next door said they saw an Escalade parked in front of their house all morning. They remember because they couldn't park where they usually do. The neighbor across the street said it looked like an Escalade when she spoke to the officer. At that time it was parked in front of my house. Another neighbor said it was around 1:00 pm when she looked out and saw the vehicle and a nicely dressed young Hispanic male knocking on the front door.
Also, the shoe print has the letters AGROL, I think, down the middle of the sole. I am not up on men's shoe brands...does that mean anything to you?
On Monday we were in our back yard when a pick up came along in the alley and stopped at each dumpster. They climbed into the dumpsters and went through the garbage. They were talking in spanish. I went out to dumpster after they left and my 39 gal black garbage bag had been totally torn apart and garbage strewn inside the dumpster. We need to be careful about throwing anything away that might have personal info on it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent point. Identity theft is a real threat. Also be careful about placing HDTV and larger type boxes in the dumpster- that tips off these scumbags that the merchandise is in the house.
ReplyDeleteAlso be vigilant about random folks knocking on your door soliciting yard work. They may be legitimate, but they also may be casing your house. Be careful about whom you let into your house. I've talked to the law, these home invasions are not random- these guys know what is inside!
