Report Suspicious Activity
The Seacoast region has been experiencing similar suspicious activity where a man and woman team appear to be approaching homes with concocted stories of being lost, looking for a resident or a home somewhere in the area, etc. Last week a vehicle with out-of-state plates approached a home with a “For Sale” sign and a female approached the house but left rapidly when a pest control service entered the driveway. Similar activity has occurred where Lee Police observed a vehicle parked at the end of a driveway with a male behind the wheel and a female walking down the driveway towards the vehicle. The officer scrutinizing the situation was advised by the female that she knew the homeowner from work. As they drove off, the Lee police officer was simply not comfortable with the situation and decided to stop
the vehicle. Ultimately, it was discovered that the out-of-state driver was under suspension in New Hampshire and he was arrested. After further investigation later in the evening, the female’s story about knowing the homeowner was discovered to be untrue. The homeowner had no knowledge of either person. The female was later arrested for criminal trespassing. In all likelihood, the actions of the officer prevented a burglary into the home.
Given these situations, Lee residents are urged to contact the Lee Police at 630-659-5866 if any activity appears to be unusual and/or suspicious. It is an easy task for the police to verify the veracity of the situation while ensuring the security of the community. With your alert partnership, the police will be significantly more effective in deterring crime.
