Besides our weekly zone briefing nixle reports, I encourage you to also engage with your local sheriff’s station via social media.

Remember during this holiday season:

– Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.  If you see something, say something.

– Practice patience! Long lines can lead to short tempers. Expect to encounter possibly frustrating delays on major shopping days.

– Never leave your purse, wallet, cell phone, or shopping cart unattended.

– Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason. At this time of year, con-artists may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.

I hope you have a great week.  Remember to keep those anonymous crime tips coming in.  Call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit http://lacrimestoppers.org.
