The Halton Regional Police are investigating a number of daytime residential break-ins that have occurred in the Headon Forest, Millcroft, Alton Village and Orchard communities of Burlington.
Eight reported incidents have occurred since February 25th and investigation has revealed these occurrences are likely connected. In all eight cases the front door is kicked open and the suspects primarily search for gold jewellery. Gold jewellery of South Asian origin is particularly sought after.
What can a homeowner do? Short of putting a stout piece of wood or an iron bar across the door – which kind of takes something away from the décor of the house doesn’it – all the public can rely upon is watchful neighbours or some kind of home alarm system. These are not that expensive and certainly worth looking into. There is one with a $99 set up and $495 a month -0 less than the repairs you would have to do if you got an unwelcome call.
As always – keep the police informed – they can`t do their job without your help.
