Rash of Burglaries in Area Towns

In the past three months, there has been a string of about 50 burglaries in towns around RHAM. Police say that while there are some similarities between the crimes, they are not all being perpetrated by the same people or group of people. In Hebron, where the burglaries have been going on for about a month, the town is using the resources of the State Police Troop K to analyze the crimes and hopefully identify the culprits, according to Hebron town manager Jared Clark. The town has stepped up patrols, but homeowners can help to protect themselves and their valuables by locking their homes and cars and reporting suspicious activity to the police. The town will soon be holding an information session on home safety at the Douglas Library.

There will be more updates to this story as information becomes available.
