What is Suspicious Activity?
Suspicious activity or behavior occurs whenever a person or persons conduct themselves in a manner that appears to be out of the norm. Attention should be drawn to such individual or individuals when you feel something is unusual different or out of place. Bottom line-Trust you gut instincts!! If you feel like things are not “right” chances are-they probably aren’t!
