Dufferin OPP is reminding residents to call police immediately when they encounter suspicious people. Daylight break and enter criminals often knock on the front doors of residences to see if anyone is home. If the door is answered, the criminals will often make up a story that they are trying to find someone who lives in the area.

If this scenario happens to you, or if you witness any other suspicious activity, please note the description of the person and the vehicle they are driving including the licence plate number and immediately call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

Your call is often much more useful to police than it may seem.

Your call may be the final link required to apprehend a suspect and prevent further property crimes from occurring.
