Attacks on Seniors

Senior citizens, particularly those 80 or older have been targeted for robberies by persons who rob and beat the seniors. Sometimes the attackers pretend to be police officers at the door, sometimes they pretend to be “someone you know” and offer to shovel snow, and a few have followed seniors home from the grocery store. Please be alert and feel free to call the 12th Precinct at (313) 596-1200 with any suspicions.
