In the past week there have been two ATTEMPTED burglaries in a development off of Chestnut Ridge Road. At each, first floor windows were pried open with a tool. During these incidents the actor(s) have been deterred by the burglar alarm system sounding. Entry was not gained into either residence.

Most crimes are prevented or criminals are caught when the public assists the Police by reporting suspicious persons and activity. Talk with your neighbors about these events and discuss ways to secure your homes neighborhoods. Have a plan to report suspicious activity. The eyes and ears of the community are of great assistance in preventing and solving crimes.

The following tips may reduce your chances of becoming a victim;
