NEWS RELEASE

SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE SERVICE

*************************
The South Simcoe Police Service is warning Bradford homeowners to make sure their homes are secure after another two daytime break-ins on Thursday.

A home on Hulst Drive was entered through an insecure door, and a residence on Fred Cook Drive was burgled through an open ground floor window. In each case, jewelry was targeted.

A majority of break-ins occur during the day when no one is home. Thieves often take small items that are easily concealed then pawned or sold for cash.

Detectives from the Street Crime Unit are investigating. Witnesses are asked to call South Simcoe Police Service or Crime Stoppers with any information or surveillance video which may help identify and catch the suspects.
