Attention

An alert to all Elizabeth Township Residents.

Recently, neighboring communities have been experiencing "home invasion robberies". The suspects have been posing as utility company employees. They are described as: two Hispanic males, both 5' 8" tall, weighing about 170 lbs. One looks to be approximately 30 years old, while the other could be 40 years old. One will approach the resident to distract them, while the other ransacks the house. They have also used force to gain entry and assault residents who try to stop them. They speak to each other in Spanish, sometimes using two way radios. DO NOT let anyone into your home until you are sure of who they are. If anything seems suspicious, close and lock the door, and dial 911 for police. We will be glad to check out any situation that you feel is suspicious or not quite right.
