Burglars entered the homes through an unlocked door or window while people were home and took wallets and purses. No one was injured in any of the break-ins.
"In almost all of these cases, a rear door was left unlocked," said Chief of Police Mark Fleichhauer. "While it is often a forgotten step in a person's nighttime routine, diligently locking all doors and windows before going to bed is the number one way to prevent these types of crimes."
