Break & Enter:
On July 5th police received a report to an attempt break and enter into a backyard shed on Hewlett Pl. The incident happened sometime overnight. The homeowners noticed a ladder, that is stored on the lawn beside the shed, was leaning against the shed providing access to the upper level. Nothing was taken.
A reminder to anyone who stores their ladders outside that it is strongly recommended that the ladder is secured to prevent any unauthorized use. Ladders provide culprits easy access to upper levels which are normally left insecure during the summer season.
