Parkside Crime Alert

The last two Saturdays, last night she was described as a female described as a heavyset black woman wearing a peacoat, has knocked on two different doors of residents of Fairfield. When the people answer, she pretends to be on the phone with her pastor, says that the wheel fell off of her car at the zoo and only has about 30-40 dollars on her credit card. Wants the resident to call AAA. She then asks for a ride to use the ATM to get money out. Might be a coincidence, but last week it was an hour before the car jacking on Crescent. The woman last night said that she knows there has been a lot going on in this neighborhood and that they can trust her. The residents seem to think that it was two different woman. Just be vigilent. Don't let them into your house and immediately call 911.
