Being part of Cottonwood Heights Neighborhood Watch I have learned one of those obvious BUT because I am not the criminal type it has never occurred to me.
What happens everyday in the spring around 3:00PM?
There is a lot of activity in the neighborhood cars coming and going dropping kids off. There is a hustle and bustle going on.
Then garage doors are up and kids are getting on bikes and taking off.
It is very easy for folks to drive down the street and spot golf clubs, skis, archery, tools and other expensive items that are easily grabbed and gone. It happens so quick and the hustle and bustle is the perfect distraction.
If you see suspicious cars going through the neighborhood slow CALL the Cottonwood Heights Police Dispatch 801-840-4000 or 9-1-1 if there is a crime in progress.
When calling the Cottonwood Heights Police the key is to get as much detail as possible. How many people in the vehicle, race, gender, any article of clothing especially color and the direction they are headed. Another key factor is to not let on you are calling, they will leave the area quickly.
