Possible Burglary Attempt in Parkers Run

On 4/29/13 Officers were dispatched for a report of a possible burglary attempt on Parkers Drive int he Parkers Run Development located off of Main Street in in the Town of Cheswold. The resident noticed that the lock on the rear sliding door was damaged and called police.

The resident stated that at approx 1pm in the afternoon she was on the second floor of her residence and heard her dog barking but never went downstairs to check on her home. She noticed later in the evening that the lock was broken on the rear sliding doors of home. No entry was gained int o the residence and the homeowner is taking steps to secure her residence and officers will be stepping up patrols in the area and stopping suspicious persons in the area.

It is the time of year where people are out and about more with the nicer weather. I would like to take this time to remind all residents that you should make sure that you lock doors and windows and also secure porch doors with a security bar or another means of securing the slider on your rear doors. Set all alarms and most importantly CALL 911 if you hear or see anything, or anyone suspicious. IF YOU DONT CALL, WHO WILL!!!!
