 Crime prevention Advice 

A distraction burglary is a crime where offenders use tricks, lies, or false emergencies (like pretending to be utility workers or needing help) to gain entry to a home, distracting the occupant to steal valuables, often targeting the elderly or vulnerable, and frequently involving a team where one distracts while others search for cash and items.
