Lindenwold and Clementon Burglaries

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Over the past month there have been several residential burglaries in Lindenwold and Clementon.&nbsp; Many of these burglaries have occurred in the evening hours; some have even occurred while the residents where home sleeping.&nbsp; Most of the burglaries have occurred in Clementon, however several residences in Lindenwold that border Clementon have been victimized.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We are providing you with this information so that you will be in a better position to protect yourself and take steps to reduce the likelihood that you are victimized.&nbsp; We are asking that you lock all doors and windows when you are not home and before you go to bed.&nbsp; Also, please report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood.&nbsp; We also ask that you do not talk to solicitors who may come to your home.&nbsp; Many times these solicitors may offer to complete small jobs around your home such as yard work, however their real intention to is study the patterns of you and your neighbors so that they get a better idea of your routines.&nbsp; This allows them to know when you&rsquo;re not home so that they can burglarize your residence.&nbsp; Please report those who are soliciting in the area so that we can respond out and investigate.&nbsp; Lindenwold Borough Ordinance 199-2 requires anyone wishing to Solicit door to door to first obtain a license.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, if possible please consider installing exterior lighting and a home security system.&nbsp; These measures are relatively inexpensive and have proven to be valuable deterrents against burglary and theft.&nbsp; If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at 856-784-7566.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
