The Holiday Season is here, and with the season of Giving, to the criminal’s it is the season of taking. 

When at home, make sure you are locking your exterior doors.  Do not advertise you recent big purchases by putting the box for your new flat screen out by the curb.  This is a great time to take inventory of your belongings, write down model and serial numbers, take photographs or a video of your items. Don’t leave items out in the open in your car.  

Criminals sometimes pose as couriers delivering gifts. And it’s not uncommon for people to try to take advantage of others’ generosity during the holidays by going door-to-door for charitable donations when there’s no charity involved. Ask for identification, and find out how the funds will be used. If you aren’t satisfied, don’t give. Help a charitable organization you know an like instead.

When you are out shopping, be vigilant. Park in a well lit area. Get your keys out of your purse or pocket before leaving the store. When you are at your car fumbling through your purse looking for your keys you are more vulnerable.  Put your shopping bags in the trunk or where they can’t be seen.  Lock your doors and roll up your windows. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, pay with check or credit card if possible.

When you are traveling, get an automatic timer for your lights.  Let your neighbor know that you will be gone or if a family member will be stopping by to take care of your plants.  Put a hold on your paper and mail.  Request a vacation check from the police department.

Most important of all, be safe and enjoy your friends and family.  Happy Holidays!

A Heartland woman has another warning for us all. Keep you doors locked at all times, even when you are at home. An attempted home invasion has shaken her; she is taking more steps to insure the safety of her family.

Omaha Police are searching for the teens who are stealing from Old Market businesses. They distract an employee and usually grab the tip jar.

They've hit several businesses using the same distraction and may have already been busted for a similar crime.

Most days you can find Natalie Wang behind the counter at "Eat the Worm" a new tequila bar and restaurant in the Old Market.

Late last week as the bar was opening, two teenagers came in and asked for water, Natalie wasn't settled yet, her purse was sitting on the counter.

The teens grabbed it and ran out of the bar.

Natalie Wang says, "I had just assumed they wanted a glass of water and because I had left my purse in such an easy accessible place that they saw that as an opportunity and took it."

Natalie says it took her a while to notice her purse was missing, and then she got mad.

Natalie followed the young men into the alley where she could actually see them looking into her purse, just then a car pulled in from the other side the kids got spooked, threw down the purse and ran.

Natalie Wang says, "They didn't take anything out of it everything was in my purse when I got it back."

But this was no ordinary purse snatch; in fact it had a very familiar ring to it. Scooters Coffee had a tip jar swiped after a couple of teens asked for water. They hit Zio's too.

Eric Snover says, "They came in and bought a bottle of water."

Eric Snover was on duty during that lunch hour, and was surprised at the age of the suspects when police brought them back to be identified.

Eric Snover says, "Probably 14 and up maybe 16 the oldest one was intoxicated when they caught him and they were in school so they skipped school."

They might miss more school, if the same kids cited for Zio's theft in October are the same ones who grabbed Natalie’s purse last week.

Patrol officers in the Old Market were the first to notice how similar this latest crime was to the previous string of crimes.

There are five in all, where teens grab what they can and run for the door, usually after asking for water.

Because of the age of those suspects Omaha Police will not release their names.
