Ohio Police Warn of Burglars Using Cell Phones to Track Wealthy Victims

Ohio police have uncovered a new scheme where burglars are attaching cell phones to newer model cars to track potential wealthy victims. The Kirtland Police Department issued a warning after a family member of one of their officers almost fell victim to the scam. Officer Joseph Gibson’s sister was targeted while watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Criminals throw a phone onto a car roof, then track it to the victim’s home. They knock on the door, claiming the homeowner has their phone, attempting to barge in and deceive them. Police advise residents to park in garages, change routines, and stay vigilant to prevent falling victim to this tactic. (Dailymail)
