UCPD Warns About Phony Workers Snooping Around Homes

UNION CITY, CA — Union City Police are warning residents about phony workers entering backyards.

A resident of the Brookstone neighborhood reported that two women wearing East Bay Regional Parks yellow vests were walking around in her backyard. When she asked them what they were doing, they told her they were looking for poisonous citrus trees.

East Bay Regional Parks says their agency does not look for poisonous plants in people's yards, and these women were not their employees.

This is the same neighborhood where a package thief wore a City of Hayward vest, according to police. That person was carrying a golf club.

Police remind you that most utility or government workers will not enter your property without your permission.

If you see someone entering a yard or snooping around a house without contacting the resident, call police at 471-1365.
