There has been a lot of unusual activity in Winlock recently and it has many people concerned. A person is going from door to door offering to clean people's home for free, please do not let them in. Many have said they are selling Kirby vacuums, others don't know what their purpose is but we are a small community and we look out for each other. If someone is suspicious, please be cautious. I never let anyone in my home I do not know, it could be from years of living in the city but times have changed. Please call 911 if you see something that has you concerned.
