Tips/advice:
Warmer weather means outdoor activities. Please do NOT leave your valuable property outside unattended, especially overnight. This is an easy target for thieves. More children will be outside playing so please use caution driving through the neighborhood streets.
Scammers are still calling or texting people and advising them that they have warrants and that you must purchase gift cards or crypto-currency (Bit-Coin) to avoid arrest. This is a scam even though they seem legit and state that they are from a federal or local law enforcement agency. Sometimes they even give a badge number. Hang up on these people and do NOT provide them with any personal information. If you do not recognize the phone number calling you let it go to voicemail. If it is someone that truly needs to speak with you, they will leave a message. If you are in doubt, please contact the Crafton Police Department and an officer will assist you with determining if the caller is legitimate or a scammer.
Please remember to report any suspicious activity, people or vehicles immediately by calling 911.
***LOCK YOUR VEHICLES!!
(All of the time… no excuses)
