The Sheriff's Office is strongly urging residents to be vigilant in recognizing suspicious persons and vehicles. They say suspects are likely knocking on front doors first, as means of determining whether the occupants are home, and then going around to side and rear doors, which appear to be the preferred area of entry.  However, front doors which are primarily secluded from the street are being kicked in.

Sheriff's deputies are urging residents to beware of solicitors or other people making contact at their homes. T The Sheriff's Office asks that ANY suspicious activities or vehicles be immediately reported by calling 911.
