Burr Ridge Police Department is sharing this alert from the Downers Grove Police Department:
On 02/10/2021 at approximately 1:30 pm, 4 subjects in a gold Chrysler Town & Country Minivan drove up a residential driveway and attempted to commit a residential burglary. The offender who exited the vehicle and made the attempt is described as a 5'10" male, wearing a mask, and a yellow safety vest. (See attached pictures for a description of the vehicle).
This attempt matches the pattern of "Ruse Burglars", where offenders try to gain entry to a home by posing as utility workers, or by otherwise distracting a homeowner.
If you see this vehicle in the area, immediately call 9-1-1 and report the suspicious vehicle by giving your location, a description of the vehicle and its occupants, and a direction of travel. DO NOT attempt to confront these subjects.

Remember:
- Do not leave your doors unlocked. Arm your security system, even if leaving for only a short time.
- Be aware of any suspicious vehicles parked in your, or your neighbors’, driveway.
- Do not make agreements with door to door salesmen. Approved solicitors will have a Village issued identification card. Anyone without this card is soliciting without a permit.
- Keep your valuables in a safe, inconspicuous place in your residence.
- Keep receipts, and take pictures of all your valuables.
- Consider installing security cameras in and around your home, including doorbell cameras.
- Never give any personal information over the phone (social security numbers, bank account information, credit card numbers, etc.)
- Immediately call 9-1-1 if you observe any suspicious or criminal activity.
Do not allow anyone inside your home unless you have confirmed their identification. Even if the person appears to be a utility or village worker, if you’re not 100% certain, please call the police to confirm.
