Burglaries
are Back (5-19) |
|
|
|
|
Car
and property thefts have returned to Castle Pines North, and residents
are reminded once again to lock up their property at all times.
The
recent rash of burglaries included four stolen cars. In addition,
high-end items such as purses and laptop computers were taken from
inside cars and garages.
Castle
Pines North is considered a "target-rich" community, where
residents are trusting and relatively careless about leaving items
unlocked and available.
Douglas
County Sheriff’s Office offers a number of suggestions to
help prevent crime:
-
Lock it up. Motor vehicle thefts often occur when the keys were
in the ignition, and the car is unlocked.
- Close
your garage doors
- Lock
all the doors in your home at night—especially the one between
the garage and the home. "It’s the most valuable minute
you can spend," according to Sheriff’s Deputy Harris.
- Change
the locks of your home if it’s new or if one of your keys
turns up missing.
- Always
use deadbolt locks.
- When
you bring your car into the shop, remove the garage door opener.
It’s easy for someone to note the code inside and program
another opener to unlock your garage doors.
Other
crime-fighting tips:
- Add
lighting to your home. Sensor lights, especially in the backs
and sides of properties, will discourage crooks. Caught in a beam
of light, the crook will most likely step back and choose another
home that is dark.
- Work
with your neighbors to put sensor lights in between your properties.
- Learn
who lives around you.
- Start
a Neighborhood Watch. It only requires two meetings a year, which
can be block parties.
- Note
the license plate number of suspicious vehicles in your area.
- Work
with the Sheriff’s office. With the growth of our area,
law enforcement can’t be everywhere at once. If you’re
going away, you can call the HouseWatch program, and officers
will come out and check your property at least once per shift.
You also can call the Sheriff’s office for a Ride-Along.
See what the Sheriff’s Department sees on a weekend night!
Despite
the recent burglaries, we are still one of the safest places in
the entire state, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Let’s
work together to keep it that way!
