Watch out for distraction burglars

per a Neighborhood E-Watch newsletter.

Two people approached a man in his garage around 2 p.m. Nov. 29 at Padua Avenue and Pomello Drive north of Baseline Road.

The men asked if the man's car was for sale and the man then told the men to leave and he called the Claremont Police Department. The men were described as two men who drove an older 1970's red Ford pickup.

Police said this is a distraction technique where people talk with the resident and one of the people will ask to use a telephone or a restroom. While one person looks for credit cards, money or small jewelry, the other person will talk to the resident to distract them.

If you see this activity, call the Claremont Police Department at (909) 626-1296.
