Over the past several weeks, the Lone Tree Police Department has seen an increase in home burglaries.
In each case, suspects have gained access to the houses by breaking large windows or sliding glass doors on the rear of the house before leaving with cash, high-dollar purses, jewelry and other items. The houses generally back up to commercial property, open space, or a golf course, and as of yet, no one has been home at the time, which police said is the one positive.
“That’s the bigger fear of the whole thing right, if that ever happened you know what’s the outcome of that going to be?” Lone Tree Police Chief Kirk Wilson said.
