New Mexico Police Warn About Door-To-Door Solicitors

Las Cruces police say residents of a neighborhood are reporting a pair of door-to-door solicitors claiming to represent a home security business and asking in-depth questions about people’s current alarm or security systems. Police in the southern New Mexico city believe the men are trying to gather information to use for illegal purposes, based on the questions they’re asking and their confrontational approach. Homeowners have reported the men become argumentative when the homeowners refuse to talk with them. Las Cruces police say residents should not provide personal and financial information to door-to-door solicitors or anyone who arrives at the doorstep uninvited.
