Recent reports and advice from local law enforcement says there is an uptick in home invasion and vehicle break ins throughout our area. It has been noted that open garage doors (day or night) are an invitation to enter your home.
Entry may be immediate or it may be observed for a more timely invasion. In one particular case, the occupants were sleeping so the burglars seized/stole what money and valuables they could, got the keys to two vehicles and made off with both vehicles, just as the occupants awoke. The new trend is to look for vehicles with valuables and a garage door opener, another invitation to enter your home.
You don't need to be a genius to imagine the possibilities with the next crime. Be smart, protect your home, property and family. Always lock the doors to your home and vehicles, and break the habit of leaving your garage door open.. Meadow Ridge is not alone in this threat. Please share this information with your friends and neighbors. If you see any suspicious activities, report them to the police department immediately. Be safe not sorry!
