The Jupiter Police Department is investigating several incidents of distraction thefts.

The Jupiter Police Department is investigating incidents involving an unknown suspect knocking on residential doors and asking the homeowner if they received a notice about their water being contaminated.  The suspect then asks to enter the home to run the water and flush the toilets.  While the suspect distracts the resident, the suspect signals an accomplice to enter the home, unbeknownst to the resident, and the accomplice steals valuable items.

 

The suspects have been described as white males, approximately 40 years of age, 5’7” to 5’8” tall, wearing clothing that resembles a Utility Worker.  The suspects have been primarily targeting elderly females in condominium communities.

If anyone has information on this incident they are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS (8477) or report online at: https://www.crimestopperspbc.com/report-a-c…rime/submit-a-tip/ to stay anonymous and be eligible for up to $1,000 REWARD!
