“Craigslist killers” beware. Clarendon Hills police have designated the police station lobby and parking lot as safe zones for online transactions.

Police say these are the safest spots for money to change hands in a one-on-one transaction.

The station lobby at 448 Park Ave., Clarendon Hills, is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the village website. After hours, the station’s front parking lot offers a police presence, surveillance cameras, good lighting and an emergency phone.
