There was a burglary on Gracewood between Gresham and Brownwood this afternoon shortly after 4:00. If you saw anything or find anything on your camera, please email us at [email protected]. As continues to be typical of almost every burglary, the entry point was a window. If you haven't enhanced your window security, be sure to do so as soon as possible. If you have an alarm with sensors on your windows, be sure to test the alarm to make sure the sensors still work. Alarms should not be your primary source of defense, but generally are a good way to prevent the burglar from staying long, and do act as a deterrent in some cases. They also alert you and your neighbors to a possible crime.
APD is reporting to be on the lookout for a purple 1998 Toyota Corolla with tag CIC5673. This vehicle is being used in the commission of vehicle break-ins and package thefts.
Vehicle break-ins have been a huge problem of late. The reason they are so popular is because they are so successful. Do not store any items of value in your car, especially when you are home. Take the time to bring in laptops, guns or any of the other valuables that continue to appear in the police reports.
Package thefts are also a major problem, so please explore all possible alternatives to delivery at your home. More companies are allowing for delivery to places like drugstores, Fedex and the UPS Store. Another option is having things delivered to an office or a neighbor who is home during the day. You can also alert a neighbor to walk over after your camera catches a package delivery, or when texted by the delivery service. This problem is not going away, so try to find a way to deal with this that best fits your situation.
