Melanie and Peter Calderon of Thatcher were the victims of the knock-knock burglars Monday sometime between 11:30 am to 2:30 pm.
The characteristic of the knock-knock burglars is that they knock to see if anyone is home and if not, they go in. If someone is home, they will go to another house. If you are home, yell out for someone to get the door but don’t answer it. Yell, “Hey Charlie. Get the door.” But don’t answer it. Call the police.
These burglars opened the front door with a crowbar and kicked in the garage door. They took jewelry, coins, and tools. They left laptops, iPads. Burglars put small dog in bathroom. Neighbors on both sides were home.
Officer Drake Madison, who investigated the burglary, said normally they use the side gates to enter the house, which is less invasive than breaking the front door. Officer Madison told the Calderons it probably took a minute from entry to exit.
Make sure your side gates are locked. Yell so they know someone is home but do not answer the door. Call the police.
