The alert also advised people to stay extra vigilant over the next few months.

Those who receive suspicious calls or emails, or if they have someone unfamiliar show up at their home, are asked to call the Croton-on-Hudson Police Department non-emergency line at 914-271-5177, and call 911 in emergency situations.
