We are continuing to advise the public to secure your property; lock ALL windows, doors, and secure air conditioning units. Please ensure all valuables are in a safe or safety deposit box as jewelry and electronics have been the main items stolen. Also, we are strongly suggesting that home owners take pictures of all valuables and record all serial numbers of electronic goods, in the event they are stolen and recovered those goods can be identified.
We are also asking for the public to keep an eye on individuals that are acting suspiciously in neighborhoods, as most of the recent burglaries have taken place during the day whilst occupants are at work.
