The Palos Heights Police Department has an important message for you! Residential Burglary Awareness 03/16/2015
On Sunday, March 15, 2015, the Palos Heights Police Department was called to the scene of a residential burglary in the 7700 block of Golf Dr. A resident discovered forced entry to an exterior door. A family member left the victim’s residence at 1:15pm and the door was discovered kicked in at approximately 1:35pm. A canvass of the neighborhood showed that just prior to the incident, a female white subject in her 30’s with long dark hair had knocked on the door of another resident, claiming to be looking for a lost animal. The resident went to get a pen to take her number and when she returned, the female subject was gone. Another resident reported seeing two suspicious male white subjects in the area around the time of the incident.
Residents are reminded to remain vigilant in protecting their homes and property, as well as keeping a close eye on neighbors and surrounding property. Residents should not hesitate to dial 911 if they notice subjects or circumstances that seem unusual, suspicious, or out of place in their neighborhoods. Whenever safely possible, residents are asked to make observations such as descriptions of people, vehicles, and circumstances to assist police in identifying those responsible for these crimes.
