HOLIDAY SHOPPING CRIME ALERT!
Neighbors, police reports are showing heavy increase in shopping center property thefts while people are distracted coming and going from their vehicles. Do not leave any personal property sitting in the front area of your vehicle while loading things in the rear of your vehicles. A criminal group is going around in teams and distracting shoppers with fake comments about damage to their cars. Cellphones, wallets and purses are taken by an accomplice. Purses need to be worn around the neck and never left unattended in shopping carts. Recently, Richardson Police arrested a person wanted in Houston working the parking areas of Plano Road and Buckingham.
