Golf Drive Home Broken Into Sunday Afternoon: Police

A Palos Heights home in the 770 block of Golf Drive was broken into shortly after a family member left the home at about 1:15 p.m. Sunday.

A door was found kicked in at about 1:35 p.m., according to police.

A neighbor told police a woman in her 30s with long, dark hair was knocking on the door of another residence at about the time of the break-in, and she claimed to be looking for a lost pet. When the neighbor went to get a pen, the woman was gone. Other neighbors told police they saw “two suspicious” white men in the area at the same time.

“Residents are reminded to remain vigilant in protecting their homes and property, as well as keeping a close eye on neighbors and surrounding property. Residents should not hesitate to dial 911 if they notice subjects or circumstances that seem unusual, suspicious, or out of place in their neighborhoods,” police said in a statement issued Monday via the village’s Nixle account. “Whenever safely possible, residents are asked to make observations such as descriptions of people, vehicles, and circumstances to assist police in identifying those responsible for these crimes.”
