Public Safety Tip of the Day: Suspicious Activity:

Suspicious Vehicles

• Slow moving vehicles, vehicles without lights, and/or the course followed appears aimless or repetitive. This is suspicious in any location, but particularly in areas of schools, parks, and playgrounds.
• Vehicles being loaded with valuables are suspicious if parked in front of a closed business or untended residence, even if the vehicle is a legitimate looking commercial unit – possibly even bearing a sign identifying it as a repair vehicle, moving van, etc.
• Persons attempting forcibly to enter a locked vehicle, especially at night or in a parking lot.

• Persons detaching mechanical parts or accessories from a vehicle especially at night or in a parking lot.
• Apparent business transactions conducted from a vehicle especially if around schools or parks, and if juveniles are involved.
• Persons being forced into vehicles, especially if juveniles or females.
• Objects thrown from a vehicle, especially while traveling at a high speed.

Anytime you see something suspicious, Call Public Safety at 312-808-6363 immediately

Thank you,
