Residential Burglary

Incident Date

08/21/2012 - 8:07 AM

Address

Sabertooth Trail/Parker Hill Dr./Stonebridge Dr.

Details

The Madison Police Department took several reports early Tuesday morning involving home burglaries, or attempted home burglaries, on Strongbridge Dr., Sabertooth Trail, and Parker Hill Dr. One tactic being used by criminals is to access vehicles parked in driveways or streets. Not only are they stealing items from them, but they're using garage door openers to try to enter homes by checking to see if doors into homes -from garages - are unlocked. Residents are urged to keep all doors locked and to consider bringing garage door openers inside at night.
