The police advised reminding everyone that there is crime, and it can happen to anyone. We may become complacent when we don’t think of these things, especially in a gated community. So be aware of surroundings and call the police non emergency number (602-262-6151) if there’s anything suspicious. If a crime is being committed or there is an immediate danger, then call the emergency number 911.
To this specific crime, one of several items taken was the key to the homeowner’s mailbox. It is possible the robbers will return to attempt to steal mail. The robbers would not know which specific box to attempt to enter. If you see anybody that is attempting to open multiple boxes, you should NOT approach them. You should call the police immediately. Tell them there was a recent armed robbery and a mailbox key was stolen, then let them know what you saw. If you have a description, no matter how incomplete, or if you can determine their vehicle or their license plate, that would also be beneficial. But anything you do needs to be done without putting yourself in harms way. The information may help lead to an arrest so we can get these people off the streets.
