Solicitation in Woodlea Manor

Solicitor's should have a valid license that should be visible at all times. 

One of our residents has created a No Solicitor's sign to post at his door.  It has been modified to welcome the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Leesburg Volunteer Fire/Rescue Squads etc.  See the links below to print and/or edit your own sign. 

- No Solicitor's Sign - Power Point file to edit/customize.
- No Solicitor's Sign - .PDF file to use as is.

April 14, 2008 - A message from your Neighborhood Watch:

Loudoun County, Virginia- The Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to be wary of workers going door to door in neighborhoods offering to resurface driveways, work on roofs or complete other work “for great prices.”

The workers, sometimes referred to as Travelers, will complete the work and then request payment that is substantially higher then what was originally quoted. They will often use intimidation on the victims to get their money. The Travelers may also use another method, burglarizing a home and stealing cash, jewelry and/or silver

The Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit recently received information that a group of travelers may be in the area. The agency has yet to receive any recent reports of these types of scams this year.

If you think you may have been a victim of the Travelers or if you have any information regarding the group, please call Investigator T. Ortwein of the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475.
