Is your community being targeted for theft and robbery?
Construction Pirates are a group of individuals who target new construction sites, and residential communities, with the intent to commit theft. These individuals, typically between the ages of 14 and 25, exploit the increased activity and less stringent security measures common to construction zones and new residential areas.
Common Targets and Tactics:
Materials and Equipment: They steal building materials, tools, and appliances.
Vehicle Theft: They target homeowners unlocked vehicles for keys, valuables, and potentially firearms.
Identity Theft: They search for personal information, such as wallets, purses, and documents that will allow them to utilize the identity or sell in on the black market.
Preferred Time of Operation:
Early Morning Hours: Construction pirates often operate between 1 AM and 4:30 AM, when homeowners are typically asleep and security is less vigilant.
