BREAKING NEWS: GPD Warns Residents Along Merritt Corridor
The Greenwich Police are warning residents along the Merritt Parkway corridor to make sure their second story windows and balcony doors are locked.
GPD’s Burglary Clearance Squad is investigating several residential burglaries and burglary attempts in proximity to the Merritt. In those crimes, apparently the perpetrator(s) is gaining access through second floors, specifically windows and doors off balconies. Such second floor windows and doors are typically not alarmed. The perpetrators often use lawn furniture, and downspouts to help them get to the second floor. According to police, it is generally high-end jewelry and cash which is stolen.
GPD is asking residents to lock all doors and windows, and to store their valuables in a safety deposit box or a home safe bolted to the floor.
The police are also asking residents to be alert, and to report any suspicious activity promptly to 911. Less immediate information (“passive leads” or incidents that are not in progress) should be forwarded to Detective Tim Powell of the GPD Burglary Clearance Squad, 622-8075 or tpowell@greenwichct.org.
