The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has received several reports in recent weeks regarding suspicious activity and burglaries in the SunRidge Canyon area.

MCSO Capt. Dave Letourneau said deputies and detectives are following up on burglary reports. However, he said in some instances reports of suspicious activity have been delayed or only reported on Facebook discussion.

Residents have reported people knocking on doors to solicit various items and in some cases residents say they are aggressive in their approach. In one instance a woman reported she was backing out of her driveway when she saw a man riding away from her front door on a bicycle.

Letourneau said these situations should be reported to MCSO immediately.

“Even if you wait an hour we will have no chance of finding them,” Letourneau said.

With an immediate call deputies may still be able to find the individual in the neighborhood.
