Dear fellow Hanoverians:
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of four separate house
break-ins right here in Hanover yesterday. All three house breaks
occurred between 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., and fortunately, no one was
home or injured. The thefts occurred on Cedar, Main, and Pleasant
Streets, and items stolen were “quick hits” like jewelry, Wii or
Xboxes, cameras, etc. One victimized family included a stalwart
Hanover High Yard Sale volunteer and long-time ATOTW reader who
despite everything kindly sent along the following information and
tips for all of us to learn from:
· Her doors were locked; they kicked in the back door of the deck and
broke the door frame; so no one is immune, but make sure your doors
are locked anyway!
· Make sure you have recorded serial numbers of things like X-boxes
and other easily portable and therefore fence-able items. Do it now
while you are thinking about it!
· Take pictures now of jewelry and other items for insurance purposes
As always, if you notice any suspicious activity, do not hesitate to
call the Hanover Police at 911. If you have non-urgent information
regarding these cases to report to Detective John Owens, he can be
reached at (781) 826-2335, ext. 115 or jowens@hanoverpolice.org
. The other main business line is 781-826-3231 for non-urgent issues.
