Advisory

GPFDPS advises residents to always check for identification from utility workers requesting to enter their homes.

On 3/8/2025, three adult males entered the home of an elderly GPF resident who has dementia and stole multiple items from within the house. Please be assured that our detectives are actively reviewing the video surveillance footage recovered. One suspect was wearing a highlighter yellow hoodie and distracted the victim while the two others rummaged through the victim’s bedroom. This incident was reported (03/14/25) by family members who noticed items missing during a visit.

Even if a utility worker shows ID, and you’re still unsure, or something seems off, contact GPFDPS at (313)-885-2100 or 911.
