Police Remind Homeowners to Stay Vigilant for Home Improvement Scams

Police are reminding residents to use caution when dealing with people who approach them about home improvement repairs and maintenance. 

Deception burglaries rise during the summer months, and many have similar patterns.  People outside their homes can be distracted by one suspect while another enters the home unnoticed to steal belongings.  Residents may allow someone who claims to be from a home improvement company into their home, only to find items missing later.  Victims have also reported that people claim to be inspectors, ask to come in to perform repairs or conduct an inspection, and then take items while inside the home. 

Baltimore County Police offer the following tips to prevent deception burglaries:

·       Do not allow uninvited repair workers into your home, especially if they want to fix something that you have not noticed is a problem (such as a leaky roof)

·       If someone claims to be at your home for an inspection, ask for identification and contact their company prior to allowing them into your home

·       Keep doors locked when possible to prevent anyone from entering your home while you are outside the house

·       Call 911 immediately if someone attempts to enter your home or you suspect someone is attempting a deception burglary

·       Watch for people offering services in your community and make sure to write down a description of the individuals and their vehicle, including a tag number

·       Older residents and those living alone are often targeted – keep in contact with your neighbors to ensure that they are not victimized

·       Always research companies before hiring them to ensure that they are legitimate companies with a good reputation
