COMMUNITY ALERT
The Tip of the Week is-to be aware of bogus callers, some burglars will try to trick their way into your home. A distraction burglary is when a bogus caller will gain entry on a pretext or will create a distraction so that their accomplice can sneak in separately.
Take precautions , do not open the door to anyone until you have checked who it is and what they want. Use your door viewer and chain limiter.
