In an ominous warning that is sure to hurt the door-to-door selling business in the West Valley, LAPD Topanga Station just issued the following Suspicious Person Alert:

We are again seeing a crime trend in the West San Fernando Valley with male suspects, 18-30 years old, posing as magazine salesman, curb painters or attempting to sell other goods or services.

After being rejected by the homeowner, they will aggressively demand money. Or, if they find out you are not home, they may try to burglarize your home.

We suggest that you do not open your door, but make them aware that someone is home. If they continue to knock or attempt to break in, call 911.

If they leave safely, monitor their activity and alert other neighbors. If they act suspiciously, make note of their physical description, clothing and license plate, if possible. Then contact police, non-emergency dispatch a 1-877-275-5273 (1-877-ASK-LAPD).
