FALMOUTH — The Police Department is cautioning residents to be on alert because of a recent increase in burglaries.
In the past three weeks, the department said in a press release Friday, there has been an increase in home burglaries, especially between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., and car burglaries, particularly during the early morning hours after midnight.
Police said residents should lock their doors and windows when not at home and make sure first-floor windows and doors are locked at night. Car doors should be locked, as well, and owners should not leave valuables in their cars.
