The Wrentham Police are responding to an elevated number of house breaks on the west side of Wrentham. The overarching strategy of the thieves remain similar. Entry is made into the home, they move directly to the master bedroom and go directly for jewelry boxes and bureau drawers (where jewelry is typically kept).
We advise all residents of Wrentham to keep valuable property in unique hiding places. Perpetrators of house breaks rely on speed and efficiency. If they do not find valuables in the typical places (mentioned above) they may simply leave the residence, or be forced to take less valuable items.
House alarms can be deterrents if they are earsplitting in their volume inside the house. At the very least, it may increase the level of urgency to finish the theft more quickly. It is sometimes helpful to have outside alarms as well.
1: Do not keep valuables in typical places (bedrooms, dressers, jewelry boxes).
2: Install a LOUD interior alarm system.
3: Always lock your doors and windows when you are not home.
4: Let your neighbors know if you will be away and what vehicles they can expect in the driveway.
5: If people knock on your door looking for directions or to solicit, try to note a vehicle or license plate.
Be proactive!!! Do not make it easier for the bad guys!!!!
