D Detachment

  • AK25110433

    Location: Delta Junction
    Type: Trespassing

    Dispatch Text:

    UPDATE 11/6: Troopers have concluded our investigation into the unusual Halloween-night activity reported in Delta. Around 10:45p.m., a group of teenagers approached multiple private residences from the surrounding wooded areas and looked into the window of one home. The teenagers did not attempt to contact the homeowners by knocking or ringing the doorbell, and when one homeowner tried to speak with them, they immediately fled back into the woods. While we recognize that teenagers, families, and Alaskans may be out trick-or-treating on Halloween, the behavior observed in this incident was notably different and understandably concerning to residents. We appreciate the information provided by Delta area residents during this investigation.

     

    ORIGINAL: On the evening of 10-31-25, a group of juveniles trespassed on two state troopers personal properties. The juveniles came up and looked through the front door into the residence of an off duty trooper. The juveniles then ran when the off duty trooper attempted to contact them. There were approximately 4-5 juveniles in the group.

    If you have any information about the identity of the juveniles please contact Delta AST. 

    Delta AST would like to remind the youth trespassing is a crime. Delta AST would also like to remind the youth, going up to people's front doors and looking inside of the residence is a potential indicator of other behavior which could lead to further issues. 

    Update - The juveniles have been identified and AST is working on attempting to contact them.
