New Castle County police are investigating a series of burglaries at homes in the northern part of the county Monday.
Officers fielded five residential burglary reports during the day in Nordic Dell, South Graylyn Crest, Webster Farms and Sherwood Gardens, Cpl. Tom Jackson said. Another three burglaries were reported in the Harbor House apartment complex during the same time, as well, he said.
County detectives are heading up the investigation and ask anyone with information to contact police.
The department also reminded residents to lock their doors and windows while leaving the house, as well as consider investing in a residential alarm that will call police to the scene faster, Jackson said. Residents should also “Park Smart” — lock your vehicle, secure valuables and take the keys with you, he added.
Anyone who spots a vehicle out of place should contact police at (302) 573-2800, 911 or nccpd.com.
Tips may also be provided to Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333, on Facebook at New Castle County Police Department or through the New Castle County Police smartphone application.
