On Sunday, January 10, the Town of Cary received a report of burglary by an unlocked garage side door in the Lochmere area. The items were taken during the overnight hours from an occupied home. Targeted items included two televisions, multiple purses, wallet, camera, and jewelry. Once inside, the subject(s) overrode the motorized garage door in order to remove the possessions.  The family’s two indoor, friendly dogs neither deterred the criminal(s) nor alerted the family to the intrusion.
 
To help prevent these types of crimes, the Town of Cary Police Department reminds citizens to keep all doors locked at all times, including garage doors, exterior doors and car doors. Please be watchful of any suspicious or idling vehicles in residential areas, especially at night, and don’t hesitate to call police with suspicions.
