Warning BRANTFORD Area
May 23, 2019
On Sunday May 19 at approximately 3:30pm (30mins prior to completion of the Open House) a
Caucasian Male entered into an Open House in the North End of Brantford. The female agent
was alone in the home and he was not accompanied by anyone. She greeted him at the door and
he in return stated “I just walked over here as I live around the corner and that was a bad idea
because of the heat and now I’m all sweaty” (paraphrased). She seemed to recognize him and
told him so and he immediately got on the defense and said “IMPOSSIBLE! I just moved here
from Hamilton”. He took the sign in/feedback form with him as he walked through the home which
was maybe 5 minutes in total. Once he was done, he handed in his form and asked for a business
card. Right after he left the agent went upstairs to check that everything was in its place, she
noticed the Master Bedroom closets opened and rummaged through along with a Jewelery box on
the floor, open and other items spilled out (the Vendor had “hidden” the Jewellery Box in the
closet).
Brantford Police have been in communication with both the Vendor & Realtor and have asked that
the word is spread among Realtors. Please be vigilant of a man fitting this description, using a
similar open house “entry line” (Bad idea walking here and visibly sweaty hairline). Brantford
Police ask if anyone comes across a man fitting this description during an open house… while he
is in the home, call the Police and distract him in conversation(before he leaves) until they arrive.
Do not approach him as we are not sure what he is capable of.
