See the crime report below attached in blue. The Sheriff's Office Citizen Patrol volunteer unit has a new website with information and photos about the program: www.mcsocp.com. _______ "Four mail thefts occurred on 11/29 to mailboxes with locking doors. Please be aware that this is a time of year when thieves are very active. Stores, homes, parked cars and even our mailboxes are all potential targets. If you're expecting anything of value in the mail, try to have it picked up as quickly as possible. Be aware of suspicious cars or persons lurking along the roadways or persons knocking on your door with some kind of story or sales request. Sales people should be carrying authentic company ID and even a sales permit from the county. This time of year, companies such as Amazon hire extra delivery drivers that may be driving their own personal vehicles. It's ok to challenge unknown persons (if you feel safe) and ask them for their ID or a supervisor's contact number . After extensive questioning, persons with fake stories are usually "quick to scatter". Obtain a vehicle description and license plate info if possible and immediately call either 911 or the non-emergency# 503-823-3333. It's best to call right away instead of waiting. This allows the responding deputy a better chance of locating the suspicious person(s). Please don't hesitate to call. Many citizens think deputies are "too busy". If deputies are busy and the person gets away, your information is still logged and could be very useful in identifiying potential suspects." |
