BPD Officers responded to two residential breaks yesterday. The first break was reported from Bicknell Rd. The residents at the home noticed a basement window had been damaged. It appears that the suspect activated the security alarm during the attempted entry to the home.  Nothing appears to have been stolen.

The second break was reported at George Brown St.  Residents were home at around 5pm when they heard a noise that they attributed to a family pet.  At around the same time frame the outside motion lights came on outside.  No one was seen outside but they did notice that the basement doors had been opened.  It was then discovered that someone had entered the home through a basement window.  An inspection of the home revealed that items had been stolen from a bedroom.

We would like to once again remind residents to notify police immediately of suspicious activity.  Property crime has a tendency to increase around the holidays so please secure your property and set your security alarms if you have one.
