The Inverness Police Department would like to make you aware of recent events that have taken place in and around our Village. The Inverness Police Department is asking for your help to apprehend these criminals and prevent future crimes.
Since mid-July 2022, Inverness and our surrounding communities have seen several attempted and successful house burglaries, both ruse type and forced entry. These subjects continue to return to our towns and commit these crimes.
Below are images of our #1 person of interest in several forced entries. The subject knocks on doors before breaking in and usually has at least one other accomplice. They have forced entry through front doors, back doors, and windows.
The Inverness Police Department is asking for everyone to call 9-1-1 if this subject or someone dressed in similar attire knocks on your door. The subject may indicate he is leaving a vehicle on the street, fixing a water issue, tree trimming, etc., and request you step outside. Shut your door and CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY so that Inverness Police Officers can apprehend these suspects while they are still in the area.
These criminals are not necessarily parking a vehicle nearby. Previous camera footage often shows the subjects walking away toward the direction of other houses or empty fields, possibly headed to their vehicle parked on the street behind your residence.
There are several ways to prevent these types of crimes and protect potential victims, first and foremost being community awareness, installing cameras, setting alarms, and sign-up for vacation checks. We ask residents to spread the word and call 911 immediately regarding any suspicious activity, persons, or vehicles in the community.
