Police want to remind people that it is a common tactic of thieves during the daytime hours to often knock at doors to see if anyone is at home. If you are at home during the day and receive a knock at your door by a person asking for a person who doesn’t live there, directions or any other unusual conversation, please contact police. Your diligence might just prevent you and your neighbours from being victimized.
