Deception Burglary!!!!!!
On Friday, April 25, 2014 at about 4:00 pm in the afternoon an elderly male was the victim of a deception burglary where the perpetrators led the homeowner to believe he had some roofing work done by them in the past. Two of the perpetrators distracted the homeowner while at least one other entered the home and removed US currency from the basement.
These same individuals attempted to pull the same scam on another homeowner a few doors away and that homeowner did not allow the individuals inside his home.
This is what the NYPD is asking you to do. DO NOT LET ANYONE YOU HAVE NOT CALLED PREVIOUSLY INTO YOUR HOME!!!!! If someone comes to your home and you did not call them, do not open the door and notify the NYPD immediately. The 104 Precinct attempts to relay this message to all of our residents and businesses, but we need your help to also let you neighbor know about these scams.
