BE AWARE . . . LOCK YOUR CAR . . . CLOSE YOUR GARAGE

On a regular basis, a late model SUV has been observed in Weathersfield closes between the hours of 10:30 P.M. and 1:30 A.M.  THIS IS NOT SOMEONE DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS.  The same car has one or more occupants and comes into the closes and appears to look for open garages and unlocked cars.  When observed and called out to, they quickly flee.  One of the individuals who gets out of the car is a tall, thin, Caucasian young adult. Unfortunately, these individuals are far enough away that the person observing them cannot tell the color or exact make of the car or read the license plate.

Please be aware that this is happening on a REGULAR BASIS and seems to suggest that our neighborhood is being “cased” for unlocked cars and open garages.

Please make sure that you keep your garages closed at night and, if your car is parked in the close parking lot, keep it locked.

If you are able to get identifying information about this vehicle and/or its occupants, contact the sheriff’s dept. with that information.  The 24-hour non-emergency number is 919-542-2911.

In addition, Email scammers are, again, at work.  If you receive an email asking for assistance of any kind with Jo Bolig, WSG President, as the sender, know that THIS IS A BOGUS EMAIL.  Do not respond to these emails.  The senders do not use Jo’s legitimate email address.  They ask for “help” that may take the form of requesting gift cards.  IGNORE ALL SUCH SCAMS.
