INCIDENTS

ATTEMPTED RUSE BURGLARY

Police responded to a possible ruse burglary at 1:30 p.m. June 13 on Hoffman Lane. A male came to the front door of a senior couple and told them he was doing tree trimming in the area. He lured them out to the side of the house when they heard their dog barking at the front door. They immediately returned to the front and saw another male walk away from the door and enter what they believed to be a tan colored 4-door vehicle.

The first male, who identified himself as “Arturo," also entered the vehicle and left southbound toward Deerfield Road. He's described as possibly Hispanic, 40 years old, 5-foot-9, thin, beige shirt and a cloth face mask. The second male, who was the driver, is described as possibly Hispanic, 30-40 years of age, 6-foot-2, heavy, cloth face mask.

No entry was made into the house due to the suspect being scared off by the victim’s dog barking at the front door.
