BURGLARIES OF OCCUPIED RESIDENCES / KEEP DOORS AND WINDOWS LOCKED
The Port Angeles Police Department responded two three residential burglary calls on the morning of August 4, 2010, and to a report of a subject engaged in criminal trespass in a carport attached to a residence. Three of these residences were occupied and unlocked. These four incidents occurred in the area between Columbia Street and East 9 th Street , and between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.

Since the beginning of June, the Police Department has responded to and investigated over 52 residential burglaries. This is in addition to an increased number of car prowls or auto burglaries. Some of these cases have been solved and tied to specific suspects and some remain open. Criminal offenders target objects that are readily accessible and can be easily carried away such as purses, wallets, backpacks, and laptop computers. Suspects are consistently coming through unlocked windows and doors. Officers are finding more residences with doors and windows open and unlocked due to the warmer summer weather. Almost all the vehicle burglaries (car prowls) involved unlocked vehicles.

Unlocked residences and vehicles containing items of value that can be easily picked up and removed increase the potential reward for criminal offenders.

The Port Angeles Police Department is asking local residents to always lock their houses and vehicles, and call 911 immediately if they see anyone who appears to be engaged in criminal trespass or burglary. The operational goal of the Police Department in this area continues to be to catch and arrest the offenders, and also to take concrete steps to make Port Angeles less crime friendly.
