The Washoe County Sheriff's Office is reminding you to take extra precautions around your home after a rise in door-to-door sales is being linked to some burglaries around town.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office offers these tips when dealing with solicitors:
If you do not know the person, do not open your door. Don't feel obligated to greet the unfamiliar person knocking at your door.
If you are not interested in the item being offered, simply close the door and lock it. You do not owe the person an explanation.
Stand in front of your home and see what is visible from the street. If you can see your valuable items through the front windows, so can potential burglars.
Always keep doors and windows locked. Storm doors or security doors are helpful when dealing with solicitors because you can see and speak safely through the door. Never allow an unfamiliar person into your house!
Call your local law enforcement agency if a solicitor is aggressively attempting to gain access into your home and/or refusing to show proper identification.
If you see criminal or suspicious activity, call our non-emergency dispatch at 832-WCSO (9276).
