A white male with brown curly hair knocked on the door of a residence near 45th Ave SE and 122nd Pl SE at 8:30pm last night, Tuesday February 9, 2010. The male was “jumpy” and appeared to try to “sell” something, but the homeowner could not figure out just what. The male was dressed in slacks, shirt and tie and carried just one piece of paper. The fact that someone was at the door apparently selling something at that time of night was suspicious to the homeowner who called 911. A Sheriff’s Office deputy responded immediately. The homeowner noted the male at a nearby corner talking on his cell phone. Minutes later, the male got into a large white van with a company name of “RJ Distributing.” The homeowner followed the van into Pioneer Trails, onto 35th Ave SE, then onto 116th St SE and into the Wyngate community.
Note: There are companies that deposit usually young men in neighborhoods who do door to door sales. These companies may be “legitimate” but there is the potential for individuals with criminal records to work for these companies. Most burglaries occur during the day when no one is around. Burglaries, or robberies if someone is in the house, are rare. A door to door sales operation in the evening can have the potential for scoping out potential targets to be hit in the next day or so. While Snohomish County does not have a “Green River” ordinance, if a solicitor causes suspicion in your neighborhood, feel free to call 911 to report him/her to the Sheriff’s Office. Be sure to give as complete of a description as your can (approximate height/weight, color hair, type of clothing and colors, and description and license number of any associated vehicles).
