Ridgeview Ranch Plano TX Crime Alert

While crime is very rare in Ridgeview Ranch, Crime Watch has reported an attempted break-in of a home located on one of the golf course lots.

The attempt happened on a work-day during daylight hours. The perpetrator rang the door bell of the home. The owner assumed it was a salesperson and did not answer the door. The perpetrator then went around to the back of the house and attempted to kick in the door. When he saw the owner, he jumped the fence and used the golf course to escape.

Crime Watch tells us that this type of break-in had been attempted on another golf course home in November 2010. I suspect we see this on the golf course lots because it is easy to climb the iron fences and the golf course can be used for a quick escape. 

Residents should remain vigilant. Keep your doors locked and alarms activated.  If you see people climbing over the fences on the golf course or other suspicious activity, please contact the Plano Police Department.
