Two homes were broken into on School Street close to the center of town on Friday. One home was entered through rear window, but the other’s front door was brazenly forced in.
A direct report from one homeowner informed me that her bedroom was rifled, but they had no valuable jewelry in the home. Burglars left behind a nook and ipod that were out in open.
Reports indicate that burglars have generally been after jewels. So if you have valuable jewelry, you may want to consider how you store it and make sure you have records for your insurance.
Other recent complaints to police include holes in Oak Hill Road construction, and power going out with a bang. Read about those incidents and more in the latest logs from the Southborough Police Department.
