During the late afternoon of Thursday, 9 April a resident reported an unidentified man wearing black pants and carrying "two round, shiny, sharp objects" was banging on the front door. The resident did not answer and the person departed. No further description is available.
A similar incident occurred at the same location, Friday, 3 April at 10:45 pm. SAPD responded to that case and warned the homeowner to be aware of this "classic home invasion technique." Apparently some unsuspecting folks respond to the urgent banging by opening the door without first verifying the person's identify, which allows the would-be intruder access. Police advise: Do not open the door to people you don't know, especially at night.
Police and crime prevention specialists recommend residents use outdoor lighting to deter nighttime criminal activity. According to electric utility experts, typical residential lighting will not strain the power grid, nor the pocketbook.
Details of the incidents were provided to Blue Armor for increased patrol emphasis; FSR's Cellular on Patrol volunteers will step up their patrols as well.
