Hi Everyone, 

I want to bring to your attention an incident that occurred yesterday on the 6100 block of Westview Way.  A female resident answered the front door, a Hispanic male between the ages of 20-30 years old, approximately 5'7", heavy set (200-225 lbs), wearing a blue/black zip up jacket, tan pants, tan boots, and a white hard hat, asked to check the backyard for a leak.  He claimed to be working in the resident's neighbor's yard.  While the resident was in the backyard with the subject, another individual entered the home from the unlocked front-door and ransacked several rooms, cash a jewelry were taken.  The resident found the rooms ransacked later that evening, contacted her neighbor to verify if work was being done on a leak.  The neighbor had no knowledge of a leak in the neighborhood. The resident noticed that a small black SUV was parked in front of the house when the subject arrived but it is unknown if the SUV is related to the subject. 

Please remember if anyone comes to your house claiming a need to repair or work on an item, ask for I.D. and a business card.  If a work crew claims to need access to your yard on behalf of a neighbor, contact your neighbor prior to letting them in.  When in doubt go with your instinct and do not feel obligated to let someone on to your property.
