Betsie Melter's Real Estate Blog: Open House Robbery in Scottsdale

Open House Robbery in Scottsdale

An agent who was holding an open house on Easter Sunday in Scottsdale, AZ was robbed. A female came into the open house and asked for a tour while they were outside a Male came in and stole credit cards, cash and a few personal items out of the Realtor's purse (which was hidden in a cabinet in the kitchen). The Realtor was able to get a good look at the Male and the car and has given all of the information to the police. The 2 of them are thought to have done this before. Details of suspects are:

FEMALE: Light skinned Black, 5'7", 125 pounds, mid 30‘s, slender build, ‘Keratosis" marks on both cheeks, (like, red lipstick, mascara, coarse, dark hair with lighter colored tips, worn feathered back

Morgan Freeman, the actor)

from face, bangs, blue floral wrap dress, open toed, sling back shoes, very well dressed, no accent.

MALE: Very light skinned Black or possibly part Hispanic, 5'8", 150 pounds, mid 30‘s, no excess weight, but

well muscled, boxy build, small facial features, fit looking, wearing dress slacks, white shirt, dark tie, short, neat

hair, styled with product to give high gloss appearance.

VEHICLE: Mid 90's, dark colored, generic four door sedan. Dull paint. Male drove.

*Several of the stolen items were recovered one week later, tossed into an open field at Dobson Road off

101. WATCH YOUR VALUABLES, note additional details, license plate # and call your broker for further action.

 

This is a good reminder to all of us that this can happen in any location at anytime. Please be safe out there.

At least they were just after her stuff.  Makes you think about getting an open house buddy, eh?
