Vandalism to Vehicles on the Rise: Police are looking for two heavy set males driving a blue Toyota

Please report suspicious activity by calling 574-LMPD

Block Watch & Street Captains please share this information with neighbors

There is a rash of criminal mischief incidents in the neighborhoods off 3^rd Street Road around Cristland Avenue in the Auburndale Neighborhood.  There are also reports of vandalism in the Scottsdale Neighborhood.  There have been 14 reports of vandalism to autos in less than a week.

The subjects use baseball bats to knock out windows and taillights to vehicles.  The only descriptions the police have are two heavy set men driving a blue Toyota.  The vehicles that were vandalized were parked on the following streets:

• West Manslick Road
• Burnwick Court
• Afterglow Court
• Caple Avenue
• Elmer Lane
• Angeletta Way
• Scottsdale Blvd
• Runell Road (3 reports)
• Pirouette Avenue
• Franelm Road
• Westhall Avenue (2 reports)

Because the cars that were vandalized were parked on the street, the police encourage motorists to park in driveways or garages.

Suspicious Door to Door Salesmen On Fruitwood Drive & Leemont Drive

ATTN: Block Watch & Street Captains

Last Friday, two young salesmen approached a resident who lives on Fruitwood Drive.  The fast-talking salesmen began asking strange questions such as:

• “Do you have a security system?”
• “Do you have guns in the house?”
• “If someone broke into your home, which window would be the easiest to gain entry?”
• “We’ve been watching you and have noticed that you don’t lock your door when you go back into the house.  Do you always lock your door?”

Door-to-Door sales are always popular during the summer months. While some salesmen are reliable, hard workers, there are many scams out there aimed at taking your money. Magazine sales, alarm systems, meat sales, and offers of physical labor on your home are among the most reported fraud claims made. Be sure to ask for the company’s brochure or information, take your time making a decision, and never pay with cash. Also, check out the company with the BBB.

Louisville Metro Police encourages people to call 574-LMPD if they think they are being targeted for a scam.  For emergencies, dial 911.  You should never divulge personal information about yourself or your property.  “They aren’t looking to sell you an alarm, they are taking inventory of your possessions and trying to determine what is the best way to break into your home,” warns Councilman Doug Hawkins.
