No police department can function effectively without the assistance of responsible citizens. The police are depending on you to call whenever you observe suspicious persons or actions.
Some people fail to call the police simply because they are not aware of what seemingly innocent activities might be suspicious. Others may notice suspicious activity and be hesitant to call for fear of seeming a “nosey neighbor” or a “crank.” Still others may take it for granted that someone else has already called.
Suspicious activity can be reported to the Evesham Police by calling 911 or 856–983–1111.
What is suspicious?
Anything that seems even slightly “out of place” for the area or time of day in which it occurs is suspicious. Obvious things to watch for include:
• A stranger entering your neighbor’s house when it is unoccupied.
• A scream heard anywhere.
• Offers of merchandise at ridiculously low prices can mean stolen property.
• Anyone removing accessories, license plates or gasoline from a car.
• Anyone peering into parked cars.
• Persons entering or leaving a business after hours.
• The sound of breaking glass or other loud explosive noises.
• Persons loitering around schools, parks, secluded areas or in the neighborhood.
• Persons around the neighborhood who do not live there.
